When you leave them in the morning, they stick their nose in the door crack and stand there like a portrait until you turn the key eight hours later.

"Good morning. Are you a giver???? Do you have money or does money have you? Can you live without that morning cup of coffee, cigarette etc ? (Remember) What you can walk away from, YOU HAVE MASTERED. What you can't walk away from has mastered you. He who loves the least controls the relationship! God is Love Rev Run"
Wow.
How powerful is that statement?
There are at least three messages in this statement.
Future posts will explore Rev's theories about the blessings of giving and the power of control. For now, l want to concentrate on mastery:
"What you can walk away from, you have mastered. What you can't walk away from has mastered you."
So elementary. So true. So difficult to do.
And yet, just the challenge I need to square off against my demons.
I could have named this little weblog, gone to my 'happy place', but 'dog' was shorter and a more apt description of that place where I can sit comfortably in my jammies, frivolously chronicle daily events, and babble mindlessly about reality tv and other relevant social, political and life-altering events. It is my opinion, after all, that life is best experienced in the company of a good dog!
