A Glorious Day

I woke up today to sunshine and my Laney starring into my eyes and tail wagging. I thought what a glorious way to start the day. So, I decided to enjoy the glorious day by letting someone else serve me breakfast. As, I stepped out the door to breakfast, the cold north winds reminded me that winter was on its way. The leaves on the trees are surrendering and the soon the snow will fall. Laney and I are not looking forward to the long winter. But, my husband has reminded us that with each passing day we are closer to spring. So, I graciously accepted breakfast on this beautiful fall day. And, of course it would have been even better if someone else had paid the bill. Ha! HA! Better luck next time!

Mirror of Life

Have you ever wondered what life would be without mirrors? Several times a day most of us pass by mirrors. They are in our bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways, and even in our cars. We learn early on that the reflection we see is ours. We learn either to like it or not. Just think if you never saw yourself. There would be no judgment about aging or trying to look like someone else. We would not judge ourself by looks, but perhaps how we treat others. I thought about Laney and the fact that she probably does not know that the dog she barks at in the mirror is herself. She does not judge herself on her appearance nor does she judge us on how we look. Rather she judges us on how we treat her. The love and enjoyment she gives us is based on love and secure feelings that we give her. I am very blessed to have her in my life.
