i wake up at 8 on the weekends to feed/walk winston..... whos best interest??? Yes if i wait and not feed him he will go hungry, and probably make a mess in my room.... walking him is in his best interest yet is it to my benefit... it is okay to do something for yourself even when it benefits someone. its okay to do something for someone you love, even if it is not in your best interest.... did you know it is even okay to do something for someone you love if it doesnt benefit anyone directly and only puts a smile on their face.
it doesnt benefit me directly to lay with winston on the floor, roll around with him and play... actually it makes me tired and dirty.... yet the fact that winston receives the benefit, and joy makes it worth while.. yes he would be totally okay with out it, and most likely not think any different if i do it or not... yet the shear realization that i could make his mundane day brighten up for those 10 minutes is enough knowledge to push me to make time to make my doggie happy... yes winston is just a dog, and this story might blow right past certain people (some who need it the most).... yet it is something i think we should al reflect on....
who is the winston in your life.... what do you do that makes the one you love have that short burst of joy to remind them of your love and care for them.... what would you do to put a smile on the face of the one you love?????
for those of you who blow past this and think its just some girl stuck in a fantasy of "not going to happen".. ask yourself.... what does the one you love do for you??? does she take pictures for you, send you emails, watch shows you like, listen to music you like, or eat foods you love???? what does she do for you??? think harder. its there.
what about trust??? winston trusts me to open the door and let him out, he trusts when he comes back in after going potty he gets a biscuit, and on those days when im late coming home, or i feed him later then he wants, or he has to stay in the crate all day, i go out of my way to bring him with me or spend the rest of the evening with him to remind him that even though i let him down during the day, i still love him, im sorry and he can trust me.
no one is perfect all the time, what do you do for the one that is perfect for you.
yes i might just seem like a ranting bitch... however take a moment.. let it marinade.. who is the one you love, what do they do for you, what do you do for them.
i love you. goodnight.
