An ordinary day


 Sometimes it is the little things in life that one must appreciate...

Yesterday at 5AM, we were out for our morning constitutional with our human.  It was a foggy, quiet morning.  We made our way down the trail and happily trotted along.  We ended up cutting through part of the golf course and my human took a detour around the club house.  The club house is surrounded by lovely landscaped grounds - raised beds which are about 3 feet off the ground.  And as we walked around one of the beds, my human spotted something out of the corner of her eye.  We were right next to the bed.  And there, hiding in the bed, literally about four feet away, was a cat. Frodo walked right past.  Remember the cat was above our line of sight.  But of course, yours truly suddenly picked up the scent.  My nose went in the air and I slowed down.  And my human braced herself and silently prayed in that 1.8 seconds, that the cat would NOT move.  And he didn't.  And she kept us moving.  And we never knew the difference.

Now that may not seem like a huge deal - but trust me, it's these little things that one should learn to appreciate in life.  Those brief moments - where if the circumstances were different, the day could have gone very differently.  So while your day may seem ordinary, and rather mundane- remember, that CAN be a very good thing!

Have a great, ordinary day!
