I’m just now beginning to see how decades of hurt and betrayal have translates into adversity -my own inability even it what might be characterized as approaching an ideal situation, to understand the concept of family. While it is true that every family has its own troubles -past a certain point (and depending on the point in one’s own development) those troubles can lead to not just alienation, but a lost sense of/for family altogether. The time I have spent with out little dog “Daisy”, who simply does everything she’s supposed to both naturally and perfectly, with any of the ignorance or arrogance or hang-ups so many of the human-beings I have encountered so much of my life has -afforded me (brought me back from) a real sense of family, of belonging, of trusting, of being wanted and needed, of having the freedom to give and do for -uninhibited!* @ 57 years old -What a 🎁! Thank You Lord! 🙏

*People have been seen for years “get a pet”. As a young boy I learned for years to have a little dog. The management never seemed to go along with it. But something inside of me was telling me that a little dog… The fact that they don’t seem to have an agenda… It’s one of the things that makes me realize where so many of my relationships have gone wrong -Other people’s agenda, as well as my own!** 😔

**Somewhere in there -I get the feeling there’s a lesson for all of us!

“We’re all way too preoccupied with all those voices coming from our 💕 and our minds instead of living by one simple rule which Daisy seems to have down pat:

“Live and let live!”
