Dog Whisperer


Dang Pack of Chihuahuas


It’s not often that I have less than good days, but geeze, yesterday just stunk on ice.  There are was not a specific event, but more like one right after the other annoyances that piled on top of each other.  It reminded me of a pack of dang Chihuahuas nipping at your ankles.  Heck, even Harley therapy did not help.  About 2 pm, I decided was I no longer gonna sit at home and stew about it or wait for the next event to happen.  Off I went to have a tasty cold beverage and some good conversation, and I got both thanks to Clyde, Kathy, Mikey P., and David Y.  As I knew it would with enough time and patience, the day shifted to the good side. 

Yesterday was a good reminder about movement.  I could have easily sat in the Bubba chair and fumed and fumed about the stinko day, or I could do something about it.  I chose to do something about it and changed the situation, the surroundings, and the circumstances.  Short of being duct-taped and having a gun to our head, we have the ability to move and change situations. 
If you feel like you are being attacked by the little ankle biters, that’s typically a sign to move out of the current situation.  Sometimes all you need is an activity to shift your mind.  Maybe you need to take a run, go to a movie, or to talk to a friend.  If things feel off, then they probably are off.  Make the move and change the situation.
