Last Week of the Year

I love the last week of the year. It is my hibernation week. It is the one week of the year that I really exhale. My daughters and I load up a bunch of movies and sit and knit for hours, or get lost in a great novel. We are completely content just with being together. It is a time for quiet regeneration. Sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves is to do nothing.

This year, we were joined by my daughter’s new puppy, Tucker. Talk about a bundle of pure joy and love. He is 4 month old now and his day pretty much consists of sleeping, playing and eating. Mostly playing.  Everyone is a potential friend, a potential new playmate. He is completely open. Even to the big white dog that occasionally gets a little fed up with puppy exuberance, but has softened to him over the last week.


As I sit and laugh at this little guy, I can’t help but think that there is so much we could all learn from him. About looking at life with the eyes of a newborn. About being more open to people and experiences. About taking some time just to sleep, eat and play.

    The King Charles Spaniels are such sweet dogs. My mom was going to get one but opted for an Australian Shepherd. Completely opposite personalities!
