Mom Day Monday

Welcome to what I hope is the first edition of Mom Day Monday (thank you to Frankie Furter for this great idea).  I had contemplated about doing my own separate blog however since it seems at times I have a hard enough time "helping" the Beaglebratz with their's and after a lengthy "discussion" with the Beaglebratz (along with some treat bribery) they let me do my thing here on Mondays.  So I hope you enjoy - this will be MY spot - whatever I choose to write about.
The following was in an email I happened to get then after that is my thought about it.

“When we choose not to focus on 

what’s missing from our lives but 

are grateful for the 
abundance that’s present… 

we experience heaven on earth.”

I have figured out – when we talk about how our dogs live one day at a time, in the here and now … then this is what their lives must be like. Because they are not focused in on what they don’t have but rather they already have whatever their abundance is – what they desire – love, understanding, adequate food &amp water &amp maybe a belly-rub now &amp then along with a cuddle or two.  Some of us humans, me included, could profit by learning this from our dogs.


This little quote is something I "borrowed" from an email signature box I get at work - another good example of living in the here and now-

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us."

(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
