I wish...

Miko has this way of getting my attention... he plays with his ball, and intentionally, and I repeat, intentionally lets it roll under the couch where he couldn't reach it. Then he sits down and peers under the couch and cry about the ball over and over. Looks up at me, peers under the couch, and whimper. Looks up at me, peers under the couch and whimper again... and repeat. The first few minutes, it's cute, so I torture him and totally ignore him... but we've done this so many times, I know the drill.

After a few minutes, I finally let him win. I stop what I'm doing, go on all fours and reach under the couch for his ball... As soon as he sees the ball in my hand, he gives me this look as if I am god and just performed a miracle. As I hand the ball to him, he looks at me with with his tiny brown eyes full of love, admiration and appreciation. Not minding that I have been intentionally ignoring him or that I been torturing him about the damn ball just a few minutes ago...

Dogs are different than humans in a way that they don't hold on to grudges, or your past mistakes, or your shortcomings.. They don't focus on the wrong you did, but on all the right things you've done. They love you and accept you just for who you are, faults and all, unconditionally and without reservations...

I wish people were like that sometimes...

The Paths We Follow...

"Sometimes we can choose the paths we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all."

So...

This is it!! Ready for an amazing change. ♥

Rain, Rain

It's gloomy in San Diego... Everybody here is so used to the sunny weather, I think I'm the only want who wants it to rain.. The past few days has been pretty gloomy, there's been tiny raindrops falling here and there. I smile a triumphant smile, and my heart skips.. I wish it would just rain.. hard.

There's just something nice about rain falling... Something soothing.. Maybe because it brings back childhood memories... of playing in the rain with no worries in the world... No worry in the world.. God how I wish I could go back to that point.

Another thing I like about the rain is that raindrops are never alone.. Wouldn't that be amazing? Never being alone? When you go down, they go down with you... Always having someone there with you.. I think that's one of the best feeling in the world...

I really wish it would just pour rain today.

Unselfish

Even after all this time the sun never says, "You owe me, Earth,"
Look what happens with a love like that, it lights up the whole sky. ♥
