Another day in my life span has passed, and for my birthday
I received a gentle reminded from some very dear people what life is all about. In Genesis our Heavenly Father gave the humans
dominance over all of the earth, but we as humans sometimes forgotten have what our gift of life is all about. Somehow we
lose that innocence as we age. Sometimes we need to look through the eyes of a child or an animal for that simple reminder.
So many thanks and much love to Neviah, Portia, Amaya, Isaiah and their grandparents for the beautiful framed poem and picture
of my beloved Beau and his buddy Neviah, for in essence this is what life and love is all about. And thank you to Dr. Alex Pattarkos for writing your poem and sharing
it. I short we all should probably live by the bumper sticker that says: "Be
the kind of person that your dog thinks you are!"
Things We Can Learn From A Dog
Start each day with a happy attitude
Greet each person
you meet with enthusiasm
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk
Don't be afraid to stick your head out of the window
Don't hold grudges for very long
Support those in need
of a friend
Explore everything as you walk through the day
When someone is having a bad day, be supportive
Take plenty
of rests to re-energize so that you are ready for the next adventure
Loyalty
is a virtue, so be loyal
Play is good
Food
is better (appreciate every meal like it is your last)
A ball is all you
need to feel fulfilled
Relieve yourself regularly to help reduce stress
Set your limits by marking your spot
Accept
treats and a kind pat on the head whenever they are offered
Protect those
you love and who love you
Show your passion and enthusiasm with gusto
When you see loved ones, act as if you haven't seen them for years
Be your authentic self
Display love unconditionally
