Living Well



How do I really want to live?
Like my dog Belle, seems like a good idea. She 's a yellow lab, monster-sized, with a hearty appetite for the good life. First, she is completely willing for strong vigorous exercise, unless its too hot out (common sense prevails). Any food is OK. Steak is better, though. We should nap more, too.
She does not believe in holding a grudge. Everyday is a new day. Let's greet family with unbridled happiness. Wouldn't you like to be greeted each day in this fashion? Children also do that.
She does occasionally question who is in charge, just in case she should assume the post. She automatically accepts all kids as best friends, but unknown adults should be loosely scrutinized. And of course there is no sense in telling her about race or gender, everybody's the same!
And lastly, no day is complete without snacks.
