This morning my bee sting happened during my walk with Zoe. Our morning potty times have ALWAYS been a challenge...Zoe likes to take her time, I want her to potty NOW! LoL I got stung when I realized that Zoe was sniffing the grass, embracing the moment, cherishing the morning air, finding the perfect spot to do her business. I just wanted her to hurry up so I could get to work because I was running late and she was taking too long! I cried because for years I rushed her because I did not plan my morning well, because I overslept and did not have time to give her 15 minutes to savor the morning sun...to let me savor the morning sun.
I smiled...the bee sting reminded me to savor the morning the sun, the sun is my gift. Just when I thought that was my lesson of the day that 11 pound ball of fur with a tumor the size of her heart started to run with the wind in her hair and a smile on her face. Overweight, in my nightgown, flip flops, and messy hair I thought to myself, "If this little dog with this weight in her chest can run, so can I"...and we ran.
This is beautiful and well written- It made me cry. I love you Zoe Joe
ReplyDeleteI loved this lesson on life, sometimes it is really okay to not care about who may be looking and just run with the wind in our hair! Love you both! ~Tara~
