Funny Happenings

There I was walking along with my dog when someone whizzes by on a bike and says ” hi cutey” so I foolishly smile back. After more walking a jogger runs by and says ” hey there good boy.” Again I smile like a buffoon, puzzled that he can’t tell I am a girl. But, when it happens a third time as someone passes by I realize that they are talking to my dog Tessie, and not me.

Can you believe it, there I am at the end of that leash and people hardly notice that there is a human attached. Sometimes when they look up and see me they act surprised.

Now I say to all those people who like to greet my dog that I am really flattered that they are so impressed by her, but don’t forget about me. I need a smile once in awhile. I need to be greeted just as warmly

there’s both my girls

Have you ever noticed how people often just melt and get goofy around a dog, and scowl at a person. I say it is just bad manners on their part.

Now I can take this as an insult from these greeters or I can take it as a message from the universe to treat people as good as you would a dog (most people that is). Sometimes we need to be reminded that it makes others feel good when they are treated well. Even something as simple as a smile can brighten someone’s day.

The next time you are out trekking the hills and dales smile at everyone that passes you as you greet their lovely pet. It will make everyone’s day so much better. You might surprise yourself and feel better as well. So for today have a great day. You and I deserve it.

We are but a tiny drop in a very large ocean.

Can you imagine how many of us it would take to make this beautiful pool of water if we were each just one drop. All of us mixing together to make one of the loveliest images. Just looking at this picture makes me feel cool and at ease. We can use the things in nature to bring us a sense of peace. In this chaotic world we need that more than anything.

Find something in nature and lose yourself in that moment. Look at all the details. Look at all the things that have come together to bring this moment to you. We can get away from the world around us by being mindful of what surrounds us moment to moment. It takes a lot of little particles to make something as large as a body of water.

Someone somewhere said that there are more universes out in the great beyond then all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the world. We are but a speck, but when we come together, we make great things.

Short and Sweet

a storm is brewing.

OMG, I know this isn’t a proper introduction, but I have toiled over this dam blog for days. All the promoters make it sound so easy to do a website. They are nuts. I have googled back and forth from tutorials, articles, and every darn thing I can find to help me get this website up and running. My fingers are bruised and bleeding, and I am not going to mention the bald spots that have cropped up.

My site is still in it’s infancy but, I think the birthing process is almost over. As the days progress I am sure with the help of WP learning I should be able to add some pretty pictures.

The message to come out of all this is to not give up. There are many things that come into our lives to challenge us. We can move through them with a little patience toward ourselves or we can throw a fit. We are stronger, and better than we give ourselves credit for. Really!

I will admit there were times when my computer almost went flying. I work nights and it is noon. I should have been in bed long ago. But, I am proud that this baby is ready to go. Have a great day today. And good night.
