When it comes to relaxing, my dog, Spike sets a wonderful example. Right now, on this beautiful fall day, he laying by his tree, in the sun, sleeping a peaceful sleep. I feel like joining him, but the lawn chair in which I am sitting doesn't recline, and I don't want to go and lay in the leaves under the tree, so I'll just close my eyes for a bit, and see if I can relax enough to sleep. When I relax, I like to turn on a good movie for a snooze, melt glass, lay down for a minute, do you see a pattern here? I'm following the example of Spike who never lets anything or anyone get in the way of his naps. I usually torch in the morning when I am widest awake. When I finish, I go upstairs to check email and check on Spike. This morning this is what I found. He was in a total state of relaxation! He didn't even hear me come in the room. I had covered him up before I went downstairs to torch. While I was relaxing by doing, he was relaxing by not doing. Don't you just love it? There are plenty of days that I wish I were a dog.
Oh, man, Spike, you are the bestest puppy dog! Just look at you, all curled up under that comforter, so cute! Mallory, I call melting glass my meditation :)
ReplyDeleteAng, I believe that about melting glass, especially since you melt glass with your entire body! Wow! It relaxes me, too, but nothing like a good snooze!
ReplyDeleteGee Spike is not spoiled...what a sweeting all tucked away in bed.
ReplyDeleteGuess it really is a Dog's life!
