Spring 2017 is upon us. I haven't written in quite some time. So much has changed. Max is now 4 1/2 years old and becoming "all that" and more. It has been a struggle learning to handle such a fast dog. At the last show, Max ran a 7.1 yps in jumpers and the fastest time of all heights. He went in the wrong end of the tunnel but it was the best NQ I ever had. We are a team now. I can feel it. Our relationship has become reborn like all of nature in the springtime. Max and I are like new buds on the trees just beginning to open and mature. The excitement is building in me thinking of all that is to come this year. We have shows planned and goals are written down. We are traveling our first overseas trip together since Sully has gone to the bridge. We are going to Denmark to compete in the Dania Cup 2017. This is a big step for us but the first step in a magnificent journey that can only exist if we indeed step forward.
Life is funny. It just happens. It rolls on like a river. You either flow with the current or fight against it struggling to make progress against the strong opposition of raging water. It isn't easy to let yourself float along but if you work on your thoughts and stay in the moment, it becomes automatic. I remind myself daily how precious and short life is. When life starts moving against the current, I just turn it around and know that down stream, further in my journey this situation will have long passed.
One foot in front of the other. Think always of the positive outcome and never the what if's. Those what if's will limit what can be and all the possibilities that can be yours. I have changed. Maybe it is the wisdom from old age and the many years of surviving the bumps in the road. I have learned to find the joy in the cold winter months or the solace of a rainy day. I have learned to be in the moment. This moment right now is all there is and I am going to make it my best moment ever.
