Living your life like a dog

While on the drive to work today I heard the radio speaker refer to living his life like a dog. He went on to say that everyday is like Christmas to a dog. They wake up excited about what the day is going to bring. Basically put (in my opinion) that we need to be positive and happy about our grass not the neighbors. I am trying to be more positive. Even though things in our family are a bit tight (emotions, finances, blah, blah, blah) I keep reminding myself that I have two beautiful children, a wonderful husband, a job, and that I know God won't give me something he doesn't already know that I can handle (wish he would let me in on what the end result is early).

My daughter is such a joy. She wakes up in the morning and first thing she does is give me a BIG hug. My son on the other hand babbles like a baby does best. I know he is trying to tell me the secrets of the world but haven't figured them out yet.

I know people who think that the world owes them and they do nothing to better themselves. I know people who take a flat tire like it was a pesky hair in their face and they deal. I want to be able to deal.

I agree with the radio guy, being more positive is possible and probable.
Living my life like a dog is a bit much. I mean really do we need to go around sniffing each other?

Like the saying goes "when life gives you lemons make lemonade!"
