Trying to decide what to write about this month as the saying goes when it rains it pours.  Have you ever been over whelmed or felt like things will never get better?  Yet one look from your pet, one purr / bark / whinny makes all the difference in the world.  They snuggle or play with us when we need it most.

 

Over the years with Covid and other factors there have been times when I am sure all of us have not wanted to get out of bed.  Every day is a new day, a new start to a new beginning.  Another day with a belly to rub, receive a sloppy lick or hug from our true friends.

 

Do you ever take this for granted?  We sit on the couch; they come and curl up beside us or go on a ride that feels amazing.  Not realizing in that moment how they are reassuring us they are here.  Here for us.  Life is going to be okay, we have them as our best friends.  They are not asking us for anything.  They are not going anywhere.

 

We need to be in the moment and really understand that this is the moment we are loved, truly loved.  This is the moment we don’t have to ask to be heard or ask for understanding.  The animals are just there for us.  They know we need them and they show up, they listen and they love us unconditionally.  This is the reason to get up and start a new day.  Accept that their unconditional love is worth continuing to move forward.  Would you want to miss out on this kind of true love even for one day?

 

With gratitude to all the animals and what they teach us every day. Most importantly how to receive unconditional love teaching us, we each deserve this.  Also so we can move forward loving unconditionally not only the animals but all beings.
