There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.
-Bernard Williams
Take some time today to smell the roses, or at least have that puppy lick your face. After we got home from our volunteering yesterday at an event, we spent 6 hours outside working on the patio, the flowers, talking with the neighbors, playing with the dog. Towards dark we lit the candles on the porch, enjoyed still the smell of the charcoal we had cooked our porkchops on and just sat back with a cup of coffee and enjoyed the day, it was magnificient.
I can't remember the last time that I spent so much time doing nothing! Planting and deadheading and watering flowers to me is just pure relaxation. But what a shot of energy it gave me. We laughed and talked with the neighbors and watched Polly the incredible protector of our home, ward away all the bunnies and squirrels and ducks by her slight growl or bark.
Simple simple things are what always recharge me, what always I enjoy the most. So get your face licked today by a puppy or hugged by a kid or throw a rock in a stream or stop and really look at the flowers budding away, wow, it's a great life!
Have a wonderful day!
