Thinking

I've spent the last few minutes staring out the window thinking, "blog - must write my blog."

Then I spent a further few minutes thinking "what on earth to write about - nothing seems to happen in my life."

And then I thought, 'well - nothing happening is not such a bad thing...."

I have a friend who celebrates the fact that she has a boring life. Maybe we should all aim for "boring" lives - lives in which every day hums along with happiness, acceptance, a nice dollop of love and joy, good food at predictable mealtimes etc. This is really the life of the dog, isn't it? And how many people have said that they would love to come back in another life as their dog - predictable lives - lives of comfort, ease and affection.

Of course there's always that exciting part in a dog's life when a visitor arrives or they meet a new dog or when it's time for a long hike! I admit I still feel moderately excited at the prospect of hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, going to the book store. So I guess I am living the life of my dog. It's not a bad life.

Sometimes I think change would be good. I'm one of those people who embrace change - love it! Given that change is constant (oh delicious irony!) it's just as well to embrace it.

Travel - love travel. Want to do more of it. Will do more of it - most of it with my dog. Still living a dog's life.
