Day’s end…..Can’t wait for day’s end.

Giving up, dear one?

Are you going to give up on living a life that suits ‘you’? 

It doesn’t have to suit any other person, dear heart; this is true; as long as it suits YOU.

_

Think upon this and see if what you want to do, and what others want for you to do is one and the same. Then think upon the matter of – whose life are you living?

(Sometimes we do this, don’t we; we live the life that others want us to live, which is not necessarily what we may want to do.

And, why do we do this?

Sometimes we do this because we fear not doing this. Sometimes we may feel obligated.

And, what does obligation lead to?

I’ll tell you, dear friend. Obligation leads to a life that we do not necessarily enjoy. It is that simple. Obligation can sometimes be a road to dismay. Indeed this can be true.

And, why do we feel obligated?

Sometimes we can feel obligated when someone does us ‘a good turn’, so to speak. Indeed. When someone does us a good turn, we feel obligated.

And, what is a ‘good turn’?

It can be as simple as giving us birth, or it can be as complicated as allowing us to use their material possessions. Indeed, it can be great or small.

Obligation is a ‘double edged sword’ that can lead to dismay.

And so, what can we do when we feel obligated?

We can think upon this to ensure that it doesn’t prove a ‘double edged sword’. We can investigate our feelings to ensure that we are not placing ourselves into a position which shall cause us dismay. For, if we do, are we not doing ourselves an injustice?

Yes, or no?

This is the question that we must pose to ourselves whenever we feel an obligation.)

Pixie-Bob Reflection

Pixie-Bob Reflection   (Listen while you read)  

What would you like to know about the impeccable Pixie-Bob?

Would you like to know it has a twinkle in its eye and a stride to its step?

Would you like to know that whomsoever enjoys the company of the Pixie-Bob is in for more treats than meet the eye.

Indeed, dear friends. We would like to introduce you to the ‘now’ famous Pixie-Bob; a delight in a box.

Not a four sided box; oh no, dear friends. Not four sides with a top and a bottom. Oh no, dear friends. The box of which we speak is one that holds a myriad forms. It has many sides, many tops and many bottoms.

You would do well, my friends, to understand the gravity of this box. It will hold all your dreams, should you allow. It will succour your dearest intentions; if you will but trust. It will cherish you as a mother cherishes her babe.

Indeed, my friends. Do not take lightly the qualities of the Pixie-Bob. To do so, would be folly, dear hearts.

Indeed, the Pixie-Bob has another quality possessed by few.

And what is that, pray tell?

The quality possessed by few, my friends, is the ability to appreciate love, generosity and warmth of nature in those with whom it dwells. For you see, dear ones; only those with these qualities has the ability to attract the very sincere, the very intelligent, the very warm of heart; Pixie-Bob.

American Eskimo Dog Reflection

American Eskimo Dog or American/German Spitz 

(Listen while you read)


 

American Eskimo (Spitz)

American Eskimo (Spitz)

Lighten up, lighten up! The load’s never too heavy to bear.

We can do it, you and I.

You know what they say.

“A load shared, is a load halved”.

Lighten up! Lighten up!

(You know we can do it when we band together…  Yes, matey; that’s right. A problem shared, is a problem halved.

And this is what the beautiful American Eskimo Dog teaches us this day. Share your woes, share your fears, share your joys, and share your love.

A wondrous energy has the American Eskimo Dog, indeed.

Do you share yourself with all your idiosyncrasies; with all your foibles; with all your daring; with all your ups and all your downs?

Yes, my friends. The American Eskimo Dog asks this of you this day. 

Allow that which is within to come outside to play, to cry, to laugh; to do whatever it needs to do.

This will always change.

A little sadness here, a little laughter there.

Indeed, ’tis a changing world in which we live, dear hearts.

Do we think we are any different? Yes? No?

Indeed not, my dear friends; we are no different…..!)

Yorkshire Terrier Reflection

Yorkshire Terrier   (Listen while you read)  

Tootsie the Yorkshire TerrierA Public Domain Image

Oh, how I would love to be strong;

to see life through a strong heart;

to be merry and gay and dally all day, singing and happy in song.

Oh, yes, my dear friends; to be strong and to see life through a strong heart; wouldn’t we all like to be this way!

-

Alas, for some this is not possible.

Many have not the capacity for such bravery.

Indeed, some sit by the roadside and watch. Others walk along the road, whilst some run.

Each to his own, as the saying goes. Each to his own, for one way does not suit all.

And this is what the Yorkshire Terrier personality needs to remember as it sits, walks and runs along the road.

Indeed, the road for the Yorkshire Terrier will have ‘many a turn’. One day sitting, one day walking, one day running; all quite natural and good for this personality type.

Yes, my friends, it is better to learn this lesson early, should you be attracted to this precious pooch.

Chapters change, and move with the time.

You would do well to apply this saying to yourself… 

“I am what I am; unlike any other”.

This will allow you to view the world in your way, remembering that “to each his own” holds much sway.

Pekingese (Foo Dog) Reflection

Gentle are we. Protected and loved are we.

We do need to be, for we, you see, are not the average type you see.

In need of love, are we.

(Unlike the Shih Tzu (who can feel alone and unloved) the gentle Pekingese receives love (similar to the baby of a loving family). He is adored and cherished and protected from many of life’s harsher moments.

He needs to be, for this personality is somewhat fragile by nature. Those about him will pamper him and coddle him.

There is also a slight weakness of his physical form.

The arms can feel a little weak; something like a thumb when it is injured; suddenly one knows that one has a thumb!

There is also a sense of weakness about the chest.

His chest is melancholy like a small boy who awaits the dawn of something that never comes.

All of these personality traits are known to those about him; or, if not known, they are suspected.

He is generally blessed with caretakers who offer the energies of love, protection and solace from a world that, they know, hold dangers for him.

They (his carers) may not always appreciate the subtleties of those dangers however, they understand that he needs their strength.

And so it is that when we are attracted to the gentle Pekingese it is a time for us to allow ourselves to receive from those about us.)

Snake (General) Reflection

Snake (General)   (Listen while you read)

What ya doin’? Time for a change.

Time to let everything go.

Time to begin again.

(How very beautiful are snakes!

Each species has a unique energy however, underneath this energy is a general energy that all snakes (all species) possess.

This energy is the energy of change. Yes, my friends, when we are attracted to the snake world we are being attracted to constant change within our lives; within our minds; within our attitudes; within our hobbies; within our circle of friends; within and within and within goes the energy of constant change. Upgrading; one may say, to higher and higher levels of consciousness.

When we are constantly changing there is a need for us to realise that ‘what we were’ before the change is ‘still with us’; still with us in the sense of ‘energy’; and, this energy needs to be released else it do us harm.

When we release old energies such as old attitudes; old patterns of behaviour; old friends, etc., etc., there comes a need to grieve.

Yes, even when the releasement is for the better there is still a time to grieve. We must allow grieving to occur else we suffer the pain of undiagnosed emotional hurt remaining within us.

Too many of us are burdened with the pain of old energies. They may be stuck in our tummies, our backs, our hearts and indeed, in many a nook and cranny.

Yes, my friends, we each harbour old energies within if we do not recognise that old energies linger, and need to be released.

Yes, constant change is what we shall experience when we are attracted to the snake world.

And, isn’t ‘life’ constant change; if we allow it to be?

Life; constant change; life.

Are we going to allow ourselves to ‘love’ or ‘fear’ change?

Are we going to allow ourselves to release the old energies?

Are we going to ‘live’ life to its full?

These are some of the questions we may care to ask ourselves when we are attracted to the ever changing snake family.)

Wolf (General) Reflection

Wolf  (General)   (Listen while you read)


Dakota, a Grey Wolf at the UK Wolf Conservation Trust, howling atop a snowy hill.

Dakota, a Grey Wolf at the UK Wolf Conservation Trust, howling atop a snowy hill.

What is this for? Do we know? Are we to be led, or are we to lead?

These, and more, are the questions we need to ask of ourselves as we journey along life’s path; for without the answers we are but leaves in the wind. Are we not?

(There are many questions we need to ask of ourselves as we venture along the road. Many of these questions go unanswered; indeed, many are not often thought about.

Why is this so?

This is so, my friends, because we often do not slow down sufficiently for these questions to surface. Indeed, many of us are so busy directing our lives, we fail to take note of the many signposts along the way; signposts that would (should we allow) ask of us to deliberate upon many of life’s pressing needs.

Indeed, we say ‘pressing needs’ for many of us fail to realise the seriousness of our lives.

The wolf is indeed a wondrous example of one who recognises these ‘signposts’. Were it not for ‘checking for signposts’ the wolf would fall into many traps; both mental and physical.

Therefore, we would ask of you this day to watch for the ‘signposts’ that will ask you to alter your course; whether that be physically, mentally or spiritually.

Yes, my friends, the wolf  seeks this from you this day.

Will you listen, or will fail to see?)

Boston Terrier Reflection

Boston Terrier    (Listen while you read)

Leave me alone.

It might seem crude. I don’t mean to be rude. It’s just that ‘love’ has forsaken me!

(Oh, poor little thing. Why do you cry? Why do you tear? Why do you fear? And why do you think that love has forsaken you?

 

Indeed, there are times when we can think this way.

Indeed, there are many who feel this way often; are there not? Indeed, this is true.

Many believe that love does not exist. Many, who are otherwise worldly and knowing, believe that love is ‘for the birds’. That is to say, my dear friends, they scoff at love.

For those, comes a rude awakening when love enters the playing field. For love will enter, my friend, when you are least expecting it. To be sure, some may have to wait and wait and wait for many a year for love to come a nesting; this is true. However, for those who have the patience, it does, and it will come.

For those ‘non-believers’ we say: Allow the truth to unfold, dear heart.

Do not put obstacles in its way. This can, and does prevent the appearance of love from blooming in your garden.

Do not scoff at love, dear friend.  Know that love awaits.

It may be disguised and hard to see.

This is the beauty of love, my friend; it does not always wear its heart on its sleeve.)

Leopard (General) Reflection

Leopard (General)   (Listen while you read) 


Well, well, well. So you think you know all that there is to know?

Huh, that’s what I say; huh.

If you think that you know ‘all that there is to know’, then tell me; go on, tell me.

I bet that you don’t know everything!

You should look inside your own cupboard before you look into others; that’s for sure.

(Many of us do that; don’t we! We take a gander into the lives of others, and allow our own lives to meander here and there.

What do we mean by this?

It is simple, dear ones.

We look into the lives of others; yes, we put our noses into the laundry of others and watch them get dirty.

“Oh,” we hear you say. “We do not do this…!”

Oh yes, my friends; we do, do this; indeed we do.

We are all guilty of this; it is a simple human trait that we all share; the trait of being ‘nosey’.

“Oh,” we here you say again. “We do not do this!”

And yet, dear friends; we know that with a little quiet contemplation you will begin to see where your nose is looking into the laundry basket of others, whilst your own laundry may need a clean.

That’s right, my dear friends. Our laundry may need a clean.

Once this is done, and we understand why our laundry gets soiled we may not care to investigate the laundry habits of others. This shall be the result of ‘understanding and compassion’ for the myriad ways that we each soil our clothing. Indeed.)

Possum (General) Reflection

Possum   (Listen while you read)


Well, hi there..!  How be you today, my good friend. Would you like some company?

(Yes, this little creature loves company. He generally behaves in a fashion that would suggest he likes his own company.

However, do not be fooled, dear friends. No, do not be fooled by his outward actions, for indeed this little fellow does not like to be alone.

There are many like this; are there not? Indeed, this is true.

There are many who (like the possum) prefer not to be alone, and yet they can be seen alone. Yes, this happens to many. They prefer company, and yet they ‘keep to themselves’.

And, why do they keep to themselves?

This is an easy question to answer.

They keep to themselves because they are afraid.

And, of what are they afraid?

That is right, my dear friends. They are afraid that they will not be liked; and so they keep to themselves.

We all know someone like this; do we not?

Indeed.)
