Magicians (and others I’m sure) will tell you that the magic happens in the details. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed by what is going on around me (as I’m sure the same is true with you) that I forget to look at the little things, the day-to-day things just life in general and see how good those things can be. Lucky I have my dog who can remind me to stop and enjoy the simple things from time to time.
My dog is terrified of guns and the other day was the first day of buck season gunshots were ringing through the air. It was a cool crisp day we decided that it would be best if dog went to work with my wife. My wife also had a doctor’s appointment that day so they would be able to get out and about. The following is an excerpt of an email my wife sent me. And it just made me stop at work, look around and realize its not all that bad around here. Just look at the simple things.
“… Sequoia had a good lunch. Three doggy treats from the crazy lady at Taco Bell that LOVES huskies which she ate and a soft chicken taco. She also got to run about in the grass at the doctor’s office and crapped in the grass here at work. Oh and she got to ride in the car both ways with the window open for her. So far all good things as far as dogs are concerned. Now she is ready to settle down for a good nap.”
Me too ready for a nap.
