Dear Pup...

Dear Pup,

Part of me wants to laugh, but you are truly "in my face" and want my attention. You've got it! Your eyes seem to be looking both at me and through me.  The look on your face seems to say...Will you pay attention to me please!!....and your eyes.. stop me in my tracks...Is it that hard to get my attention?

If I'm honest I'd have to say it has been hard to get my attention..I feel like I'm all over the place...again!  I know I need to focus and to commit myself to a schedule, just for organization...but I keep running.  All or nothing... keeps playing in my brain.

 How can a little puppy help me to gain focus and urge me to commit to a schedule of activity...??  Here I go again... dismissing the wisdom of  the young in relation to my life...when I extol the wisdom of the young in other situations.

I'm trying to find balance..because I don't want to over extend myself.. I want a slower pace and I want to feel joy and enthusiasm in my daily activities. How do I get there from here?

What would you say to me dear Pup??  I do want to hear your wisdom, as I want to move on and not keep running. 

Dear Sunti... I'm glad you found me and I'm glad we have each other's attention!!  I really think I can help you and I will be blunt and honest.  First dear one.. stop running!!  Begin to act...Begin to create a daily schedule that you think you can work with. You can change it as you go. As a pup,I do that on a daily basis.. because everything is new to me. I try and try...until I "get it". You've undertaken some new activities and are in a learning situation as well. The new can be a challenge!!  You try doing all the things my new family wants me to do, on command and NOW.  Yipes!!

It takes time and practice...you're a teacher.. you know that...and yet you want to get it done perfectly the first time... no way!! Just begin.... and keep trying until you know, it "fits for you".  Not to bad...huh!

It doesn't have to all be done at once... talk about going in circles!!  In the meantime and as your working things through...don't forget to laugh at yourself...and Have Fun.  You want to look forward to each day and what it holds, not be all up tight.  So...Begin....Try...and try again...you will be fine.. I know it! 

 Thank you dear Pup...you have a lot of 'common sense' that I needed to hear... again. Thank you for getting me on track. I will begin and I will have fun, recognizing that it is a process that needs to be worked through. Keep sending me your love and know I'll be sending you mine. Hugs
