Favorite Thing to Do

What do you do for you? You know that one thing or things
that lift your spirit and fill your soul. Two of my favorite things to do are
go walking with my dogs and play ball with my dog Wyatt while the other dog
Josie sits beside me. If I have her look figured out, she’s laughing at Wyatt
for his repetitive OCD behavior. Lady throws the ball; Wyatt returns the ball
and waits for the lady to throw it again. How many times can he do this…Apparently
all day!

My dogs are a huge part of my stress relief regime. Life is
simple for them. Mom (me) gets their food, lets them out to potty, plays games
to wear them out and then walks them to keep the pounds off their body and to
melt them off mine. All they want is a little time and I can give that to them and
the best part is it benefits both of us. Even during these stressful times, I’ve
remained calm. The exercise I get helps me keep a clear head and when they sit
with me and I pet them, it lowers my blood pressure. They love the simple
things and they remind each day to keep it simple.

So what lifts your spirit and fills your soul?

Until next time, live well now.
