The sun sets on another day…
I watched the sunset in the western sky. As usual I was in awe. How can there be greater beauty than greater beauty? If beauty is in the eye of the beholder perhaps I should pay more attention to the night sky.
I really enjoy taking walks with Pepper. Over the last 2 years she has grown tremendously and as she has she has become more and more interested in being social. The thing that is always fantastic about a dog is their exuberance. To the dog the world is a constant discovery and full of continuous excitement.
Take doing behaviors. I have been working on behaviors with Pepper since she was a puppy. My consistent purpose was to ensure that she understood and would listen at all times. I found myself consistently repeating, because that is the best way to reinforce behaviors. Here we are, almost 2 years later, and when we start working her eyes show the same curiosity as they did when she was little. If I tell her to give me right or left, she does so instantly but there is a little bit more excitement the more I do things.
It seems that we feed on each other, and it very strongly seems that every day is a new adventure for her.
Why not us? Us being people in general? Why are we not constantly challenging ourselves to see the world as a fantastic new world every moment of every day? Why are we lost in thinking that the same old thing it’s the same old thing? I wish I knew.
All I can suggest is that we look at each day is an exciting new installment, and as we do so, we consider the positives and possibilities that could shape and mold us instead of assuming everything is the same. Any little change can mean a big change pretty easily. Embrace the change and be the change the world needs.
So as the sun sets on another day, I find myself enjoying the day. Not because I did everything different, but instead because I saw everything differently. Take a chance, dream of dream, be amazing everyday, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and have fun tonight…
