Sometimes I look at CeCe and I'm a little envious.
Envious because she doesn't have to worry about family issues, her health, the economy, paying bills or a career. In fact, I'm pretty sure she doesn't even know what those are.
Her life is so simple and carefree. All she knows is sleeping, eating, snacking on treats, laying on the couch, watching Animal Planet, going for walks, hanging out at the park and expressing her enthusiasm to play with other dogs (i.e. barking.)
If only human life could be that simple.
Anyway, I found this beautiful piece on the New York Times' Web site. (Check it out here.) As it states, Dana Jennings is a NY Times editor with prostate cancer. In his blog, he writes about lessons he's learned from the family dog, Bijou.
Yes, our lives are probably a lot more complicated than Bijou's or CeCe's...but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy simple pleasures every now and then.
