This mothers day, since I got to choose the activity, my family and I wandered down to Devon to eat ice cream(incentive), goof around in the river (as opposed to bathing the dog) and hit the green houses (my personal choice, everybody elses nemesis,lol). We had a great time, our dog LOVES to swim, so we kept him going throwing rocks and getting him thoroughly worn out. It definitely worked--he played so hard that he was a hurting unit later--still hasnt been able to wag his tail properly 2 days later! So we've been tailoring his exercise, cutting back a bit on the running, looking into supplements for his hips...and it hit me. Why can I be so proactive and see clearly what my dog needs when he injures himself, and so stubborn about my own? Why is it so hard to take care of myself sometimes--feel like I'm being lazy, etc etc instead of just pulling back and taking care of myself as needed?
Not sure what the answer there is but I'll have to be meditating on that.....
