My dog teaches me contentment. He has abut four or five toys that have their noses or eyes chewed off. Nonetheless, he never tires of chasing them down the hall, under the table, in and through the pocket of my hoodie. He pursues them relentlessly and seems to find great satisfaction in pouncing them, throwing them with his mouth, or, upon their capture, just sitting and gnawing at a leg or ear. Chico just does the same thing over and over and with this incredibly full-on energy. Just hold the bunny up in front of him, and it's on! Throw it down the hall and forget it...Why is is that I get so side-tracked by the other thing, the thing I am not doing, watching, reading, listening to? Why can't I just sit and gnaw on that one thing and be happy? I would like to think it has something to do with being a leader and really being driven to do somehting new and excel at that too. Sometimes I feel like it is just b/c I am not content to be, to live, to be consistent and effective. Maybe I read too much in to playing fetch with the dog.
Be good!
