Somedays I feel like I can’t do anything right, and somedays I’m a genius. Today I had a small genius moment, which may or may not last 12 hours.

I’m not sure what the draw to dog food has been for the last few weeks, but of all her multiple snacks I leave at eye level, for some strange reason the dog food looks the most appetizing to her.

So I searched my cabinets for similar looking objects…. and tada!

She’s been extremely clingy this week since everyone left, I literally cannot do any chores without her being within 1-2 feet of me. Just staring as I do dishes. An occasional mumble of incomplete words as I fold laundry. But she says she’s happy. And has been very quick to get hugs. Thank God for anxiety meds.

Honestly daily meditation, prayer and consciously living life with intention, along with yoga practice, have been the best mood stability for me these last few months. I recently noticed the change in myself and my reactions, it’s been gradual, but significant.

This is a great app. called Insight Timer. It has literally thousands of free meditations, and music, search the tags for what appeals to you personally.

Shaun has been listening to the neuroscientist and philosopher, author Sam Harris lately and it’s given me new conviction to step up what I have control of, which above all is my thoughts and how I react to everyday situations.
