It’s
hard to concentrate on work (writing or otherwise) on lazy, hot summer days. I just want to be rocking in a hammock with a glass of iced tea! So today I’m
taking a break and blogging about something totally different.
Recently
I was reading the morning newspaper (yes, GULP, I still actually read a
newspaper) and saw this sweet list I wanted to share with you:
10 Things My Dog
Taught Me
-There
is great beauty in the quiet stillness. Let it envelop you.
-Sniff
it. Touch it. Feel it. Taste it. Hear it. Engage all your senses in the world around
you.
-Plunge
In! You can always get out and shake it off.
-Don’t
be afraid. Just stand your ground (and bark when necessary).
-Trust
that most people have an innate goodness.
-Forgive
fully, then let it go.
-Love
is unconditional. If it has conditions, it isn’t really love.
-Accept
the inevitable with peace and grace (even if it’s a trip to the vet).
-It’s
okay to feel sadness, but remember that joy is just a moment (or squirrel
chase) away.
-Live
in the moment. Embrace it. Feel it. Become it. Share it. Then repeat for all
the moments that follow. Life is not about the quantity of moments; it’s about
the quality of moments.
(Thanks
to Dana Riley for this list.)
Powerful words to live by! So remember to
savor every moment of your summer…
