A person can learn a
lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each
day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following
your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things-a walk in the woods, a
fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and
achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught
me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty.
[John Grogan, Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World's Worst
Dog]
There is so much about these words that resonates in me. I
am so blessed to have Gracie in my Life. She is the greatest teacher of Living
Life. Hands-down best ever.
I could DO with some more of her exuberance.
Any fool can know. The point is to understand. [Albert
Einstein]
I love this. I mean, it is exactly the point. So much we “know”
but so very little of it DO we really
understand.
For the things we have
to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them. [Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics]
This is exactly what is happening with me Now. I am NOT
supposed to already know everything about it!!!
I love you, Currie
