Do you have an inspiring or favorite quote to share?

Posted by Zebra @californiazebra, Jun 21, 2023

I'll start with three quotes from the very inspiring Helen Keller as noted in "Your Year of Healing" book by Amit Sood, MD:

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched -- they must be felt with the heart."

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

What lovely dogs. They know soo much more than we give them credit for. When I am down, my dogs stay by my side. When I am UP they are playful. Oh to be a dog and live with someone who love you because you are a dog. God bress all of them

in reply to @olderdiva12345 Yes about the Golden Retrievers. I mentioned earlier the "reels" I watch on Instagram, and there are MANY reels featuring Golden Retrievers that will leave you smiling all day. Some of them are so cute and funny. I highly recommend Smuckers, the pit bull. Talk about a wise dog. Whoever is making these reels of Smuckers really has it down. There was one last week where Smuckers was "talking" about people staring at him, which of course, resonated with me. He had been dressed up in all kinds of outfits like a denim jacket, Barbie, pajamas and a monkey costume. Outrageously funny, I don't know how the woman does it, but I have to say she is very creative with her dog, and the fact that the dog puts up with her ever changing outfits is quite telling. Whenever I am having a bad day, I just go to Smuckers and I am left smiling all day long. You can even send the dog a message to which he/she replies.

in reply to @psychoticnonconformist Yes, the Mayo team has been life changing for me too. That picture of your dog brought tears to my eyes, as he/she looks like a great friend, and it reminded me of a magnet I have on my refrigerator:

Hi There,
They really do know much more than most give them credit for. They even know we are I'll before we know ourselves. They are a Blessing from God we really don't deserve. Have a Blessed day,

@psychoticnonconformist

Hi Zebra:
I have two and although they are both Golden Retrievers, they are complete opposites. My older one is an English Crème and my younger one is the American Field and he is the one who sits like that. they both think they are one of us, I brush my teeth then they want their teeth brushed, I brush my hair then they want their hair brushed. And for bedspace, well, they think I belong on the floor. But, they are my rock in a very challenging medical journey so they can do no wrong. Have a Blessed night.

Your dogs are so cute! I love dogs! Love the last pic. One of my poodles loved to sit and hold hands. I posted the following quote before, but it's worth repeating in response to your pix:

To have a dog is to know what it's like to be unconditionally loved.
