Approaching the Big Three-Oh

I finished cleaning for now. It still feels dirty. Gus is happy I’m done with the vacuum. Tomorrow is my birthday. This year’s theme: happiness comes from within.

I thought I’d have a plan all worked out. Something along the lines of: “How I want to live from 30 on…” But I think some guiding principles are enough. Listen more, eat a little less sugar, start a retirement fund, exercise for total body fitness, don’t neglect the mind, learn, laugh, don’t be afraid. Follow heart but consult the brain, too. Remember how lucky I am and know that I am a part of everyone I interact with. Listen to more music. Be in touch with family and friends. Challenge self. Read rather than watch TV and get a mentor. Be kind and forgiving to self and others.

That’s a good start.

Goodnight!

Gussyboy Attacks!

Last night Nate and Jess were pissing me off. Sure, the treats were good but why do they make me look so foolish trying to get them? Why can't they just give me the kibbles in my bowl instead of take these humiliating pictures? I look vicious in some of them, which is ridiculous. I'm a lab for god sakes. I'm not vicious.
