this is what it's all about

When you insert an image in a blog writing you are given the choice of the size of the the picture in relation to the post itself. I chose "large" on purpose and hope that it looks great. The extra large was kind of blurry but I want you to see the happiness in my boy. No matter how clear the photograph is -Charlie's smile -in person- is 100 times better!

I did not get the aerobic/endorphin sweat that I mentioned last post.My mood has improved a little bit. I got some perspective and peace through prayer and quiet time. I feel that this new calendar year will be filled with change and equilibrium restored. Priorities will be clear and that will be celebrated. The beauty of the "present tense" will glare at me if I choose to keep my eyes open and engage. It will be a challenge for me to not get "caught in my own head" and analyze to death. It is in my nature to over think. I must follow Charlie's lead.

The big lug in the picture above gets in trouble more often than the other dogs in my pack. He feels, he acts, and he even reacts before he thinks about what is going on around him. Gut instinct is job one! in his day. That is so different than humans. Maybe Charlie has it right and I have it wrong.

Imagine a world where you made a decision just after your own review. No experts, lawyers, advisers, peers, partners, statisticians, pollsters, or Google if unsure. Just have trust in yourself. Scary or liberating? Maybe it would be wonderful. It might make me smile.
