Lessons my adopted shelter dog (Midnight) has taught me that are also great lessons in life:
If we don't express what we need, we can't assume others to know
Patience and understanding are necessary
Kindness is the best way to earn trust
Trust must be earned
Unconditional love is the best kind of love
Running in the morning is a good thing
Our bodies are full of endless energy
We all experience pain, suffering and abuse
We have an amazing ability to heal
We have an amazing ability to adapt
Sometimes it is in our best interest to let go of the past
It is important to have a job to do, especially one we enjoy
Being bored can cause one to get into trouble
It is important to keep the mind and body active
Fears can be overcome
Old habits can be broken
Mistakes help us learn
Mistakes help us learn
We all need a little guidance in order to do our best
Live in the moment
Life is an adventure
Having fun is one of the greatest things for the body, mind and soul
I'm glad that your new puppy is bringing great wisdom to your life, it is crazy how a different prospective can alter our emotions and feelings and how even the slightest change can adapt our emotions into a bigger purpose and heal the wounds that are the biggest. <3 ya gurl!!
