What gifts will today bring?
The winds have stilled, the skies are blue and the temperature is Indian summerish; today beckons me outside to the gardens and my rake. But first, a time to be still and break my fast.
My husband is busy making a batch of biscuits. Afterwards, he and our two poodles will head south for their weekly trek downtown and I will take little Cosmo west towards Mesta Park for her own Saturday walk.
Cosmo never wants to part ways with the poodles; like a little mule, she refuses to budge at the point of demarcation. But eventually, Cosmo settles for the gift offered rather than the gift desired. She teaches a good lesson, if only I take it to heart.
No different that my yesterdays, today promises plenty of opportunities to practice; to welcome what comes rather than grasp for what may never come.
TWO poodles heading south for their trek?
I take it Max is on his way to normalcy – what a wonderful gift that must be!
Yes. Max is all better. And we are SO thankful. Of course, Max has picked up a addiction to home-made bread, which I’m trying to reduce. Today he’s only had three rolls. At his lowest point, right after the meds began working, Max was eating two or three baquettes or 6 to 8 Rocket Rolls.
Yes, Max literally has a new lease on life.
Or a new leash….. (grin)
