Well some days life really sucks. And then some days – it sucks even
more. But one thing I have learned
is that no matter how much it sucks you just have to keep putting one foot in
front of the other and find the happiness in each day. It is there. It’s just sometimes you have to look very hard for something
very small. But when you see it –
it makes the day worth living. For
me today, it was one of my many animals that made me laugh. Actually, technically it wasn’t one of
my animals as I only have two dogs just like the council says I can have (the
ones I’m babysitting don’t count towards that number, right?) Anyway, it was my sons dog Miami that made me smile.
For those of you who don’t know Miami, she’s a kelpie crossed with who
the hell knows. She’s huge
compared to the Chihuahua that resides in my daughters room and she was a rescue
dog. Also, every one of her
emotions shows on her face. Well,
today I was having a very exciting morning hanging out my washing, when I heard
a very unusual sound of whooshing air followed by a small yep and her crashing
backwards into the child gate that is supposed to keep her out of the
bedroom. I ran inside wondering
what had happened, my heart racing just slightly thinking that she must have
hurt herself, when I found her sitting with her ears pinned back, her eyes huge and a very sad face indeed, the air thick
with the distinctive smell of Ventolin and a canister with a very large tooth
hole in it.
But the upside was
that her breathing was crystal clear after that. And maybe her habit of chewing everything in sight may be
cured for a while. Also after I stopped laughing at the expression on her face
she did get a very big hug and then sidestepped the offending Ventolin canister
as if it were the enemy.
So like I said. The happiness may not always be a huge life altering moment,
but just a minute in an otherwise very ordinary day. But it was there.
And I for one am certainly glad I was there to see it.
