A DOG LESSON: My dog George just had his birthday this week so I bought him a new bone. He immediately loved the bone and spent over an hour enjoying it. Then he went outside and buried it. I found it two days later and gave it back to him. He buried it again within 10 minutes. It made me wonder: He is emotionally attached to his bone so much that he was willing to forgo using it, hiding it for another day. The problem is out of sight out of mind. He will forget to ever enjoy it.
How often do we do similar things? How many of us have good towels or dishes that we never use. Perhaps it is a special outfit that you only wear once a year, jewelry that stays in the safe, or candles that are too nice to burn. What wonderful possessions are you hiding from yourself to keep them safe from the world?

I am not sure if it is a wonderful possession, but I suppose it's myself.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment! :)
The most precious and amazing possession we have is the gift of life. When we hide our self expression we arent fully enjoying our gift. Get out of your box and enjoy yourself! Many Blessings,
