Working with Animals has truly touched all the aspects of my life! One of the first things I learned when I started grooming was that those furry little souls can feel your emotion. If you approach them with turmoil, if you speak to them unkind, and ESPECIALLY if you try to rush them because of your anxiety you put yourself at a disadvantage and make those babies uncomfortable. They crave the same positive emotions we do as humans, things like LOVE, PEACE and HARMONY. I have learned that when you LOOK for opportunities to find those emotions, even when they conflict with what you FEEL, they are ALWAYS PRESENT! Case in point is the flat tire I got this morning and how I CHOOSE to react to it. I am ALWAYS a few minutes on either side of on time because of the mobile nature of our business and that can be frustratingly easy to turn into much more than minutes when things arise. If I show up to my next appointment late and try to zip through the job angry and rushed because I am behind, those emotions can and will influence not just me but the baby who has nothing to do with my problems. Instead if in that moment when an obstacle arises I look for the positive and I keep that aspect centered and focused I avoid negativity and have the ability to share positivity (not just with the pupperz but with you parents too).
When the alarms on my car started flashing and beeping this morning letting me know that I had a flat tire I had to see more than inconvenience, that is when I noticed that RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET was a tire place and that was a HUGE BLESSING! I may be a little behind but I DIDNT have to pay for or wait on a tow truck or walk who knows how far! In a World that is too often overpopulated with negativity you CAN CHOOSE HOPE! You can choose JOY KINDNESS and LOVE knowing that every time you do so that there is a good chance that it is JUST AS CONTAGIOUS. I will get off of my soap box now because my tire is done but know this, I hope that every one of you will find yourself feeling blessed. I hope that you see the joy feel the sunshine and find somehow to PASS IT ON! I appreciate you and I know that your sweet kiddos do too!
