My dog, my boy Frank died awhile ago and his sister Pumpkin and I miss him every day. I was describing him the other day to someone.
This was Frank. If he was outside running around in the backyard and he had to stop to pee...all it would take was a leaf to float by and he was off! He's attention span...well it did NOT exist. I loved that boy with my whole heart but I cannot tell you how many times after he was outside he would come in and pee on the kitchen floor because he simply forgot what he was doing in his chase of the floating leaf or butterfly. That was my boy :)
I am feeling that way these days. Activities the last several weeks have distracted me from my plan. The activities were like leaves floating by. These leaves all needed my attention but they kept me from keeping my eyes on my own things. Kind of like Frank...only my things were not as enchanting as a butterfly in flight!
No matter...they captured my attention, I dealt with them all and now it's time to regroup and continue on the path I have set out on. I am sure more "leaves" will come floating by...maybe I need to train myself to only chase the unique looking ones that look like they will bring me some joy. Now that's a thought to get distracted with for awhile :)
