My dermatologist told me this on Wed; “As long as I am looking down at the golf ball rather than up, I am happy.”
I feel contented all the time now; being miserable, worried, depressed and cranky helped no one, including me and the seconds were ticking by (as they still are.)
Yesterday, Milo sat at an open door and scared a deer off that had come for brunch at my garden. That evening, Hmself discovered a large container of loose dirt in the house. He thought it was a litter box. I tracked the smell down after lots of sniffing and laughed. It is wonderful to learn something new every day. (Forget the Febreze and plastic garbage bags – it was a good aerobic exercise.)
The humming birds at the bee balm, the heron on the pond, the newly-born twin dappled fawns, off to lunch with friends, breathing in and out when I awake ( and thrilled to awaken.)
