Chasing My Tail

There are things to do and go through everyday. Big things. Small things. Looking for and getting a new job. Making the decision to have a baby. Tying your shoelace. Going to a concert. Going to a funeral. Buying clothes. Pursuing our dreams...or as I like to call it, "chasing our tails."

I don't mean that in a pessimistic way at all, though. What I mean, is it's not about all these things or even accomplishing anything. It's not about anything tangible or some certificate or award you put up on your wall. It's about the feeling you're left with after the experience of going through it all. These feelings tell you and everyone who you are.

If you look at it this way, it doesn't even matter if you've been through some horrible, horrible things in your life. It doesn't matter if you were dealt a bad hand. No matter where you're at in life, you have the ability to move forward. Time does it for you. It never leaves you stuck in a moment. So if things are bad, it'll be over soon. And when things are good, be thankful while it lasts. Dogs are so determined, happy & oblivious when running around in circles. Take a lesson from our canine companions, and never stop chasing your tail...sniff a butt while your at it.
