Happy New Year

The holidays are over. All the presents were unwrapped, some exchanged, some put to good use, and let’s be honest, some put away for regifting next year. Many of us managed to finish every last left over and are now regretting eating them all. It is 9 days into everyone’s New Year’s resolutions. 

I struggled for a while to come up with a resolution for myself, reviewing all the standards that I, and most of the population, have made in years past, lose a few pounds, go back to the gym for regular workouts, get on a budget. I was really giving it some thought, should I resolve any of those things or all of them at once?  The answer was yes to all of the above, and then I looked across the room to my cat. She was sleeping peacefully, stretched along the back of the couch. She must have sensed me looking at her because she opened her eyes and yawned. After looking at me for a moment, she closed her eyes and went back to enjoying her snooze in the sunny spot.

As I watched her a funny thought occured to me. If Miss Kitty were to make a New Year’s resolution, what would it be? Would she vow to sleep less than 16 hours a day? Would she worry about dropping the winter weight she seems to gain every year? Probably not. As soon as the weather gets warm and she can chase moles around the yard, she slims right back down. Would she promise not to claw at the back of my leather chair anymore since she knows it annoys me? I don’t think so.

From here my thoughts turmed to the dog. What resolution would Riley Roo make? Would he promise not to shake all his fur around the bathroom after getting a bath?  Would he swear off the buscuits he enjoys after every long walk? Would he stop sleeping on the couch? Would he vow to let me brush him more often so he shed less hair all over the house? Pretty unlikely.

I realized that my pets just enjoy life for what it is. Of course they don’t have to pay the bills or worry about raising a family, but still, I think that there is something to be learned from them.

Can you imagine a day when you don’t feel the need to dream up all the ways you should improve yourself? How liberating it would be to simply stop fretting over so many things and just enjoy every day. 

My New Year’s resolution. Learn the lessons my pets have taught me.

I resolve to worry a little less. I resolve to enjoy my days a little more. I resolve to appreciate the warmth of the sun on my face.

Product Reviewed: Penguin Lounge Wear Set – Item CG189
Retail: $39.95
Material: Cotton

COMFY!!!!! This penguin set is very comfortable and quite appropriate for hanging around on the weekends. Not see-thru and not clingy. I have many kids sleeping over every weekend and always try to look presentable while making breakfast for them. These were perfect. I need to see what other designs they come in. I actually got a couple of compliments from the kids that my pjs were cool! Penguins are the cutest! There was no shrinkage with washing and drying. 5 stars.

I LOVE THESE BOOTS!!!! They just slip right on. I wore them to my son’s double- header baseball game after 3 solid days of rain. The field was like a swamp. The dog pattern on the boots were quite the conversation starter at the game. Everyone had mud between their toes and in their sandals while my feet stayed nice and dry. When I came home from the games at the end of a long and soggy day I rinsed the boots off with water and they were good as new, the pattern still bright. These are great quality boots. My neighbor loved them so much, I have to buy her a pair for her birthday. I found they run a half size large, which is great for wearing thick socks, but bear that in mind when ordering. I give the Fun Dog Rain Boots 5 stars.
