Sorine

 


There is a recent addition to joining our family. She comes home today.

When we adopted Kraven, the breeder casually mentioned, "See you in six months." Confused, I inquired about the reason. He followed up with a confident smile, saying, "You'll be back to get another one." I couldn't help but laugh, but deep down, I knew he was right.

When we went back to the breeders on March 9th, we were confronted with the overwhelming task of choosing a new puppy all over again. We took his advice into consideration and opted for a female this time. He had mentioned that having two males could cause frequent clashes, transforming our home into a chaotic battlefield.

On January 20, 2024, Brooke came into the world. October 5th, 2023 marked the day Kraven entered the realm of the living. They are practically the same age, with only a few months between them. Initially, we set out to buy a half-sister with the same dad. Brooke captured our hearts, and we couldn't resist putting a deposit on her.

Our fresh addition will become Kraven's playmate and companion in the future, but I expect a short period of jealousy and unease from him. Among the people we know, it's rare to find someone who doesn't own at least two Great Danes or have a connection to someone who does. Seeing how much they flourish in the presence of a companion; it was a simple choice to bring home our new baby girl.

Marcie cradles Brooke in the picture above, but once she crosses our threshold, she will forever be Sorine. We chose the name because Kraven is a character in one of my favorite movie series, Underworld. Kraven's reputation precedes him, as he is renowned for his cunning and merciless nature. In this story, there is a male character named Soren and his name has a feminine form, Sorine (pronounced sore in).

People with the name Sorine have a deep inner desire for love and companionship and want to work with others to achieve peace and harmony.

Until next time,

Tim

Rumination

  I've found myself stuck in a loop lately. It's like my mind is on a hamster wheel, endlessly circling the same thoughts. I can't seem to shake them. It's exhausting. I've been there. That place where thoughts loop around and around, like a broken record stuck on the same groove. It's like my mind is a haunted house, and these persistent thoughts are the ghosts haunting me. I'll be thinking about something, maybe a conversation I had earlier in the day, and then suddenly, I'm spiraling. I'm replaying every word, every gesture, analyzing every detail. It's like a broken record, playing the same tune repeatedly. It's not just conversations, either. I can ruminate about my to-do list, my relationships, or even the weather. It's as if my brain is determined to find a problem, no matter how small. Rumination, as it's called, can be a real drain. It's like trying to go against the flow of a strong current. No matter how hard I ...

Nobody's Listening

  I recently had conversations with two people I know that had experienced a sudden rash of acute anxiety. One was medication related, the other was situational. Both stated that they now had a better understanding of what I have been dealing with. With the recent changes to my medication, Although I still feel anxiety, it no longer takes control of my emotions like it did in the past. However, I know acutely that it still lurks on the fringes, patiently awaiting its chance to pounce on me. During my recent visit to Dr. Erin, she assigned me an exercise where I had to jot down three things each day that I felt I excelled at. This is proving to be difficult for me. The parameters are straightforward and easy to understand. “Anything I do well that day,” she said. As I continued with this exercise, I began thinking of a song by Linkin Par called Nobody’s Listening. I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress Handful of anger held in my chest And everything left’s a wast...

Walk Tall

  I recently listened to a song by one of my favorite artist’s name John Mellencamp . The song is called Walk Tall . As I listened to the lyrics, I could not help reflecting on the world around me. John states: The simple minded and the uninformed Can be easily led astray And those that cannot connect the dots Hey, look the other way People believe what they wanna believe When it makes no sense at all… This is a recurring sight for me, encountered daily on social media, in conversations, on the news, and most notably in politics. People readily accept Facebook, MSNBC, CNN, or even their neighbor’s post on any platform as the ultimate truth. Very few people bother to delve into the facts, and it’s even worse how furious they get when faced with differing opinions. A point proven recently with a post I saw on Facebook. Someone stated, “this proves people will argue about anything”. There was a picture of a plastic cup of water that was ¾ full. The caption below said a fu...
