six

blame it on the dog.

at the end of last month I was inspired to challenge myself to write every day for the 31 days of October. excited, I knew that I would start on a pet project and that the premise of the 31 days would carry me forward. encourage me. ever onward. unfortunately, I am now six days into the 31 day quest and have not jotted down one word of toward my mission. good grief.

I had coffee with a friend this morning. she is asking for my help on a little project of her own. we work well together. two peas of complimentary colors. she took up the 31 day journey without fail. and like a good friend, encouraged me to get an albeit late start. but always better late than never.

revealed in my delayed start are three rather simple things.

one procrastination isn’t a pretty thing. sometimes helpful. usually guilt ridden. a promise made to myself. broken by none other. not the end of the world, but disappointing to me. and definitely something that I can easily improve upon. starting today.

two friendship is the perfect blendship. it enables us to succeed and fail equally. dramatically. and land softly with a hand outstretched to applaud or help us up.

three dogs are the best. they love unconditionally. care exponentially. give unendingly. just a look into their soulful eyes make me a better kinder person. I want to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

my furry child and faithful companion is not at fault. he remains ever vigil. always there to listen. give paws to reflect. and allow me to start the month of October a few days late.










peace.
