Rainy day

[bill_schubert]

Like the USPS we dog walkers showed up in this morning's drizzle and did our thing. It was just on the boarder of being bad but fortunately let up enough so most of the dogs were fine being out. There was one, Grace, a recent mama dog found in a ditch with her puppies who walked with me to the door, stuck her nose out and said 'nope, not interested' and turned back. Been in the rain, done that, got the puppies. So we went back and I tucked her back into her bed.

The rest had a good time and got dried off on their return.

On the way back I was listening to a podcast from 'Hidden Brain' on the difficulties of maintaining an attitude of gratitude. The person being interviewed offered this quote:

'Comparison is the thief of joy.'
Theodore Roosevelt

I took Kota out today. He was happily oblivious to the rain:

That's one of my favourite quotes. Comparison is the source of a great deal of unnecessary misery. I've got better at avoiding it as I've got older.

I had never heard the quote before. So we'll and succinctly expressed.
