Life is a moment

Happy dogs panting, pure love

Total devotion.

Art Prescription:  After work today I set out on a bike ride around my neighborhood. I always run into all my vicarious dogs. I love dogs and with three cats in the house, I have to get my doggy time during my outings. Dogs are all about the moment. Tail wagging, leash tangling, glad to see you, joy! I think dogs, and cats, live in the moment. They are either asleep, playing, walking, or eating. They don’t analyze the past or worry about the future, unless it’s when their next treat is. We humans worry and think about it all. Saw this today here http://commonhealth.wbur.org/2012/01/storytelling-for-mental-health-boost

“The actual things that happen to you may have less of an impact on your mental health than the things you tell yourself about them.”

It seems how we define our experiences makes a difference in how we approach life. Are you a survivor or a victim?
