A Thought Balloon

Good morning, that wonderful way.
O/ Hello.
On with the show.
One of the markings on Abe's back looks like a thought balloon.
Wonder what it's thinking?
Translating fur is a hairy business.
Probably thankful for itself with the recent cold spell.
A self-satisfied dog's coat.
It's softer darker lately, too.
The black spots take over the white patches for warmth.
You notice small changes living this kind of life.
I lived a cliched hair on fire poet's life decades ago before illness monopolized my time and energy, so I know what's missed living like this.
I don't miss it.
Much.
There were more friends but less intimacy.
Focused concern wins over frenzied fun in the arena of quality of life.
The fun's funner, too.
The nature of the moments at hand and not spectacle take centerstage.
How we do what we do matters more than what we do because our actions themselves are in the result.
Our success can only ever be as successful as the manner in which we do the thing.
Greed only gains greed.
Pride of craftsmanship makes pride of ownership; a job well-done.
Good morning, again.
Hope you're well.
Take care, pay attention to yourself today, and have your better day.
