One Simple Pleasure

I was recently sucked in by yet another Lifetime movie on late at night.  I can't for the life of me remember what it was called now, but it was actually a really good one.  It was about a woman looking for the perfect man.  She made a list and vowed not to date another man unless they met all of her requirements.  Of course she meets two men on the same day, one who fits to the letter, and one who does not follow a single one.  In the end, she chooses the man who didn't fit the list.  He says something in the film.  "Every day I indulge in one simple pleasure, like a good burger."  Or something like that.  I really liked this idea.  Life is too short. 

Why not indulge a little bit?

The great thing for a dog is, that EVERYTHING is an indulgence.  EVERYTHING is not only a simple pleasure, but THE GREATEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO THEM!!!  Even though a dog might expect a walk every day, each walk is better than the last because it is happening right now.  Dogs live in the moment.  They don't care that today you just walked around the block when yesterday they got to walk in the park.  They don't think that you're being stingy on them.  They love it all! 

I'm taking a page out of my dogs' book this week and looking at everything as if it were the only thing in the world that mattered.  Live in the moment. 

Life is too short to be unhappy.
