* Pack Leader Returns

—

, , , , ,

master returns

Three dogs and wife with happy hearts

Return of the pack leader from family visit

Greetings of wagging tails and warm embrace

Carlino’s tomato pie to make homecoming complete

A fit hero’s return for making the trip to see Mother

As the days ahead remain uneasy and unknown

Let the love and gratitude expand and grow

Moving us, and moving us forward

Together again

    a sweet reflection
    on the heavy
    responsibility
    of being
    alpha 🙂

        Hariod sent me the very same mantra a while ago Val and it really is lovely. Glad to hear there’s some good news on the health front for the Pack Leader *beams more light her way*

● About Me

My name is Val Boyko, a dual citizen living near Philadelphia, originally from Scotland.

This blog came to life one morning in 2013.  I woke up with these words in my mind:  “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”

Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
