I'm what I would consider a "life long learner". I've always believed that, if you're really paying attention to the world around you, you can learn lessons from anyone, anything, or anywhere. How often do you really look at the world around you? I mean really look? Have you ever stopped to watch people? Things? Events? Everything has the potential to be a life lesson, if you're just paying close attention.
My life lessons for the last several years, have come from a very unexpected source, my dog Eli.
Eli is a 4 and a half year old German Shepperd who quite honestly is a bit quirky. Don't get me wrong, he is extremely intelligent, but he's a little different when it comes to his personality. He's pretty large, which will be important later in our conversation. He's really my big baby boy. He can frustrate me at times but he can also bring a smile to my face in an instance.
As he's matured over the last few years, I've noticed that he has been teaching me really great lessons about life. I started sharing these lessons with some people, and discovered that they held potential insight for others as well. I started a book about these lessons a few years ago and quite frankly it's taken me far longer to complete than I had hoped. So this blog is my attempt and beginning to share these lessons to a larger audience as I work to complete the book.
I look forward to sharing Eli's wisdom and the knowledge I have gained just by having him in my life! We'll be sharing this journey together so I encourage you to share your experiences on this blog as well!
