so it is.

the land is waking. green is sprouting forth from soggy earth. the melt was loud and the frogs are louder. we adopted a 6 month old puppy. puppy energy is joyful. unapologetic. and i am trying to lean into her energy rather than become rigid in my desire to have a morning routine.

i have been building a morning routine this year to support my long term goals. its a rule of the universe that as soon as we impose a boundary the universe tests you to see how strong you feel about the boundary. this year has thrown quite a few obstacles at my morning routine. and now puppy. the quintessential routine destroyer, although not…

she needs a routine more than i do. i can see her nervous system relax when her needs are met on a routine basis. what can i learn about my need for routine from this long legged puppy who gallops to me when i call her name?

sleep, eat, water, bowel movements, investigate, exercise and tons and tons of play!

these are my lessons from mo, our 6 month old golden retriever rescue pup. she is dear and sweet and loves to snuggle and romp in the fields. i am grateful she takes us out into the world.
