Maggie, like most dogs, loved riding in the car. She always looked out the front window, and sometimes the side; especially if a squirrel was in her vision. We would drive to our favorite walking places on the weekends. She would jump out of the car and follow the trail ahead of us. Upon leaving, she would never look out the rear window to catch one more glimpse of our hiking adventure. She would always be looking out the front window with anticipation of what was coming next. The walk was done. It was great. It's over. Move on.
People spend a lot of time looking back. The usual scenarios of over thinking a relationship that has ended, leaving a place of employment, or analyzing one's parenting skills. What is the purpose of looking back? Is it helping you move forward?
Maggie brought love & excitement to everything she did. She was happy to be where she was, and she was happy when it was time to move forward. Not always knowing what was waiting for her, but always believing the best was yet to come.
What a great way to live.
