Yes, truly, where is my bravery when I am stressed out? I freak out at everything....

I have to learn to truly let go when I am stressed: I am tightly gripping my fears.

It probably has to do with attachment and ignorance.

i have to pray simply and practice mindful meditation tonight.

The world is a dangerous place but we are all eternal and shall see each other again if we live well together. In the meantime, lets enjoy our time together. I finally marvelled again at how cute Charlotte is , walking slightly ahead of us, Billy and I, on her long lead. I have to take the time to really find her cute and not just train train train and care care care and rest rest rest.

by finding her cute, all my stress melts and disappears: such is the healing power of love in a gaze on your loved ones. It is, especially after 25 years and 5 rescue dogs ,very superb we get to try raising a puppy from 3 months and up. I think we know enough to do a goodjob and get a well raised well balanced emotionally stable dog. In beauty, I found the stress melted away and I could muster up my bravery.
