So, I got a dog.... it may seem crazy (and it is), but I really felt like I just needed a little more love in my life - to give and receive with a furry friend.
My furry friend, Santera, is a special animal. She should be dead - in fact, she should have died at least twice... but some human angels have been looking out for her... She has a story so amazing that I've stopped telling it because people always look at me like I can't possibly be telling the truth... :)
She is also special because she is a therapy dog of sorts for me. She is helping me to get out of a self-defeating rut. Because of Santera, I now get straight out of bed every morning 1 1/2 hours earlier than usual.... I pull on my coat and my mitts... and we go for a walk. I had forgotten how beautiful the world is at dawn. So, I am developing healthier routines, so that my whole life will be healthier.
Sometimes big goals require big changes to achieve.
We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.
Henry David Thoreau
It sure is dark when I wake up now... but the most amazing thing happens as we get started.... it grows lighter....
Aloha,
Emily
