lessons from Lucy

9/28/2011

Today is my last morning puppy sitting for my little meatball niece and I've gotta say, I'm pretty bummed to be leaving her! After a solid 8 days practically glued to one another I'm walking away with a few life lessons that I figured I'd share here....

Exhibit A
1. If you want something done, you've gotta take action. Please note exhibit A to the left; Lucy not wanting to share the bed with Auntie Drea, thus pushing her off. (I will not be walking away with lessons in "sharing" from Lucy).

Nutsy coo coo.




2. Be you. Ridiculous, goofy, wild, silly, authentic you. People will love you anyway.  Or perhaps more importantly, the *right* people will love you anyway.

3. Show love to everyone...

.....(but save a little extra for your favorites).....

4. Relax. Chill out. It's OK to take it slow sometimes. Everyone needs a break.

5. Remember to play. Life will fly by--it's important to enjoy the time that we have. Play makes people happier, healthier, more content. Play makes the days seem brighter.  Play is fun and fun is the best!

Thanks for the fun week, little booger! I'll see you soon :)

In Gratitude,

Trish

These posts have convinced me that you should get a little puppy baby of your very own!

On the contrary, do NOT get a puppy baby...visiting and caring for other people's dogs is much more satisfying and less expensive...kind of like being a grandma...love 'em, spoil 'em and walk away...today's words to live by...xoxo M
