Every morning I take a break from the hectic nature of life and spend a lovely hour walking my dog in a beautiful wooded park, where he can be off-leash. I have learned many things during this time.
From walking past the blueberry bushes, I have learned…
Be suspicious of easy pickings. There’s more pee on low hanging fruit.
From sharing pathways with bicyclers, I have learned…
Don’t stand your ground unless you can take the hit.
From strolling while pondering my woes, I have learned…
Dwelling on the past while moving towards the future can land you in a pile of poop.
From people-watching as I wander along, I have learned…
Some folks aren’t happy, even on the sunniest day, and others laugh, even in the rain.
From the state of my Subaru after our walks, I have learned…
A little fun creates a little mess. A lot of fun creates a lot of mess.
Walking the dog is not a chore. It is a privilege. Perhaps this is the biggest lesson I have learned.
Stuff my dog taught me 
Very well said!! Wise and funny at the same time 🙂

also it’s difficult to hold on to the frustrations of the day and hold onto the leash at the same time.
