Pets…

remind us to live in the moment and have some fun.

They get us up and out of the house. They make us go for walks. They make us laugh.

On this cold windy November Sunday, I pass many people walking their dogs through a shin deep swish of leaves. Hair blowing in every direction, the dogs don’t care about a chill in the air. It’s good to be out even when the sun isn’t. It’s nice to appreciate the beauty of the day.

We hit a rough patch with problems around the house. Stress over things that I’m not stressed about, but others are, is stressful! Things I would normally not think too much about have given me many bizarrely and unexpected grief filled moments. So much unpredictable oddness.

As if the week wasn’t already energeticly charged.

I leaned heavily into yoga. There’s a wonderful studio and community here. They offered lots of little extras this week. Very much appreciated. Just like pets and windy fall days, and the beginnings of problem resolution.
