So here it is the wee hours of the morning again.\u00a0\u00a0 First, the dogs wake me up, usually King, to have an early morning potty break.\u00a0 Once I get curled up back in bed the thoughts begin and there seems to be no stopping them.\u00a0 Why resist?\u00a0 It is when brilliance comes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My website is gone to me for all practical purposes but my amazingly talented niece is helping me rebuild.\u00a0 Thoughts about copy for my website are racing through my head when I remember a simple sentence I have seen over the last week each time I tried to access my webpage.\u00a0 Aside from “this link appears to be broken”, there was always the other “access a cached copy of this page”.\u00a0 Yes!\u00a0 Somewhere out in cyberspace, in a land I am clueless about, exists a copy of my website.\u00a0 I can copy it into a word document and not have to rewrite everything…at least not yet.\u00a0 And so at 5 am the laptop gets turned on, the cached page found and hours and hours of work are saved with a few simple click, drags, copy and paste.\u00a0 Technology in all of its splendor.<\/p>\n
One page was not available.\u00a0 Reincarnation.\u00a0 The story of Tiger.\u00a0 Many have read his remarkable story and have been touched, comforted and brought to tears by it.\u00a0 I find it interesting that it is the one page that is missing.\u00a0 Of course I do have the story on my computer so it is not lost…and it is in my heart as well so could always be recreated, yet…I wonder why this is missing.\u00a0 It could be as simple as it wasn’t viewed since the last time a cache was created (however that happens) but there are no coincidences so I am left to ponder.\u00a0 Eventually when the time is right, the answer will appear.<\/p>\n
As I am laying in bed, still fighting a bit with this whole get up at 5 am thing, I realize it is my beloved little dogs who always wake me at this time.\u00a0 If they didn’t I suspect I would sleep through the ah ha moments.\u00a0 When you stop to think about it, our animal companions really have much to offer us in living a healthy fun-filled life.<\/p>\n
My dogs get me out in the morning for a good brisk walk everyday.\u00a0 It didn’t used to be that way but when we adopted Hanna, a 2 1\/2 yr old Westie, the occasional walk was no longer an option.\u00a0 Hannah needs two good long walks per day to stay balanced.\u00a0 An hour or so at the dog park is always a good idea too.\u00a0 So now, every single day I go walking.\u00a0 Not walking doesn’t even seem to be an option.<\/p>\n
My horses ensure that I get my weight lifting in every day as I pass out their hay.\u00a0 And during the spring-fall months, they have added another healthy bonus, stretching.\u00a0 We began using grazing muzzles with the horses this year…which have solved several issues…and each morning I stretch to get their muzzles off the rack high up in the barn where Becky puts them and then stretch to put them on everyone.\u00a0 Stretching, lifting, walking, its all good.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course the unconditional love they shower on us helps us most of all.\u00a0 As humans we struggle with providing unconditional love to our loved ones…we want to…we try to…but we are humans and we are raised conditionally so it is hard for us to let go of every judgment or idea of how someone should be.\u00a0 This is not a problem for the animals.\u00a0 We are who we are and that is okay…they love us just as we are.\u00a0 We can learn this from them…I am always trying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Their big secret is living in the present moment.\u00a0 It really is the only way they know how to be.\u00a0 When they..and we …live in this right now moment, nothing else matters and so there really can be no judgement because a judgement is usually tied to a future or past event.\u00a0 The only moment that is real <\/em>is this moment.\u00a0 It is the only place we have any power and it is where we find peace.<\/p>\n This morning I am heading to the Milwaukee area to do craniosacral therapy on some horses.\u00a0 When I do this energy type work on horses I am always rejuvenated myself as well.\u00a0 Yes, the horses always show great improvement afterwards but I find it very interesting that I benefit as much or more from the work.\u00a0 Another healthy benefit from the animals.<\/p>\n As I type away here I notice that all the dogs have gone back to sleep.\u00a0 Their work is done, they got me up, I started writing, and now they are sleeping soundly.\u00a0 They are not worried about the coming day, what clothes to wear or who said what.\u00a0 They are just living a life of BEING.\u00a0 We are so blessed to have them in our lives.<\/p>\n So I would like to hear from all of you…whoever you are out there…what are you learning from your animal companions?\u00a0 Share your stories here because we all need to hear them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As humans we struggle with providing unconditional love to our loved ones…we want to…we try to…but we are humans and we are raised conditionally so it is hard for us to let go of every judgment or idea of how someone should be.
