I am taking the time to enjoy these small victories instead of letting the unknown overwhelm me and take away these great moments.  I opt to focus on the love, blessings and support that I have in my life. Life is changing and that scares me.  But the best part is that it also excites me.

Sometimes teachers know what they're talking about...

The second day of class my sociology professor made a reference about living life like a dog instead of a cat.  And his reasoning behind it makes absolute sense.... :)

"Don't live life like a cat, live it like a dog because the way dogs live teaches us the following:

1. Enjoy daily activities.  Make sure you are doing things that bring you happiness on a daily basis.  Find joy in the routine that you will inevitably incorporate in some way or another into your life.

2.Live in the moment.  It's good to have plans for yourself but it is also good to be present in everything you are doing.  Like eating, or running or jumping around.

3.  Surround yourself with people you love.  Make sure you have people in your life that make you want to jump up and lick their face, not leave the room and stay at arms length (those damn cats!)

4. And remember that if you ever need something in life....just bark."
