My New Year’s Resolution - Be More Like Dude
Dude is full of life, unassuming, open-hearted, completely present and engaged. Incredibly, Dude experiences ecstasy every day.
Dude, my friend’s huge black Labrador Retriever, is a great teacher who knows a lot about how to live life.
On our recent walk in the park, Dude was totally in the moment, fully living in the “now.” While we walked, he was completely devoted to the experience and clearly enjoyed the simple pleasure of being alive.
Dude did not experience boredom or judgment. No matter how many times we threw the ball for him to fetch, he was willing to go for it. He did not judge how well or poorly the ball was thrown and ran after it with equal gusto each time.
Dude was completely transparent - he did not need to play it cool. He was bursting with enthusiasm and love, and willing to show it. Full of boundless energy - he expressed his delight unabashedly.

Nice little piece of story there. Thanks for reminding us thru this post of your regarding how life should really be lived: in simplicity. That happiness is enjoying life beyond it’s mundane side.
