Wednesday already

Mixed weather so far this week, although mostly sunny with a chill to the wind this morning. Not a lot going on this morning, only one fox as a companion for a while before they were off to look for some food.

Lot of negativity in the house at the moment which I find starts to depress me. If I get depressed it makes my wrinkles, wrinkle and that's not a good thing. As Einstein said, " in every problems there lies opportunity". Humans spend to much time dwelling in the past and not being in the present. I guess it's hard for them to do, but they just go over the same ground again and again getting more upset or frustrated. Look if you are in the present, right now, have you a problem. No because if you are in the present you are reading this. It's only when you let the mind start chattering that you move away from now and start to go back in your history or even worse go forward to the future. We dogs learn from the past and change what we do so that it positively effects what might happen the next time that situation arises. That's why we sit, roll over and do tricks if we associate that action with a treat or food.

Remember Einstein's quote? Lets look at it a little closer. If there is a problem, there must be a solution. Not always the first that pops into the mind, but by changing your viewpoint it may present an opportunity. Take as an example going broke. In the UK their is an author and a peer who lost the lot. Whilst in prison he wrote a book, it was published and he got paid. He has since written other books and they have all been published and he is no longer broke. He may not be a peer anymore, yet. Does that matter? Probably not, but he is not broke. He saw opportunity and went for it when he could have easily thought his world had come to an end. Change your view and change how you see the problem, which opens up opportunity. Einstein knew a thing or two about life and human existence. What do you think?

That's enough on humans and their approach to life for today. Look it could well rain today so smile and the sun will shine. I like the rain as it cleans the place and gives life to all living things. I must admit it's best when it rains in the night, then I don't get wet.

Smile and someone may just smile back like wagging the tail has the same effect. See you?
