If you have a family pet that is part of your family, you already know that we can learn big lessons from our faithful friends. I received an email with the following message that really made me think about how I spend my time. I'd like to share....
If a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
-When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
-Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
-Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
-Take naps.
-Stretch before rising.
-Run, romp, and play daily.
-Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
-Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
-On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
-On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
-When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
-Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
-Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
-Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.
-If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
-When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.
-Be always grateful for each new day.
Ronald Reagan said it best in his quote, "Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God." It would be a different world if we could all learn to live by his words.
