Take the time to fall in love all over again ... with what you have

This week, this one's FOR YOU ... 

11/3/15

Lord knows that I've looked for love in many places, some better than others. But this week I fell in love with something literally at my feet - the dog. A new addition to the family this year, Chubby has been a blessing and a curse. 'Whose idea was this? A dog ... REALLY?!"  The walks, the poop, the scoop, the shedding, the chewing, the getting into the trash, the vet bills, the who's-going-to-take-care-of-the-dog when we get an invite to the beach? You get the picture. 

This weekend Chubby and I were in the car navigating the usual Atlanta traffic when, at a light in a long line of idling cars, I turned around to make sure he was not jumping out of the window and - at the exact same time - noticed a woman in the car next to us gazing lovingly and longingly at ... MY dog. I looked at Chubby, he looked at me and admittedly I melted on the spot (pun intended) and fell heart first - all over again. 

What's in it FOR YOU? For better, for worse ...

·       Count your blessings

·       Live, love, & learn

·       A new POV can make the difference (take the time to look at life while standing on your head); and 

·       A dog really is a woMAN's best friend
