Don,
Me, I'm just trying to say something witty. You, you're looking for God.

Daisy,
Sorry about the drink. Just been over to your wonderful site, and my head is full of thoughts about labeling people. Thank you. Thank you.

"You wonder if, at the end of life, a dog feels there is nothing left worth sniffing."
Pffffttt. That's me spilling my drink. I just always love your words, yet I have no other way to describe it and I sound like a broken record?!!

Plus, the massage one was priceless.

The soulmates listening to the band at a noisy singles bar has a huge ring of truth to it. Thanks Robert, and keep it up!

Who spoke of "what oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed?" That's how I feel about most of your writing. Witty. Perceptive. thought-provoking, etc., etc. I especially enjoyed; "If God had wanted to be a big secret, He would not have created babbling brooks and whispering pines." and would only have added: morning glories, humming birds, baby ducks and quail, and butterflies.

Marlene,
I think if we could all emulate our pets' interest in their surroundings, life would be a continuing fascination.

Maria,
"Here, here," on your dad's comment. As for Muffin smelling a sandwich, can you imagine the intensity of a dog smelling the aromas of Thanksgiving? It must be a heaven of anticipation and a hell of deprival.

My 85 year old father always says, "Know who you are, when you do, everything & everyone seem to fit just right."

And the dogs have it tonight! My oldest dog, Muffin is blind and almost completely deaf. She will still rise from a deep sleep because she can smell a sandwich in progress!

Enjoy a wonderful week! ~Maria

:) - I love the one about the dog sniffing, I am sure they find joy in sniffing right up to the end. My dog Daisy enjoys nothing more than a new place to explore.

Randi,
Thanks. I settled on hedonism after a long search for an activity that didn't require getting up in the morning. As for being yourself, I think I managed to leave open every option possible. Take your pick.

Ken,
Now, c'mon, I didn't say anything about sitting in your lap. Just the shoulders, please.

I love the dog quote Robert...as well as the big secret. Massaging your shoulders? Sounds like you're a big softy of a cat that loves to be stroked as it cuddles in your lapin front of a roaring fire.

My favorite: "If God had wanted to be a big secret, He would not have created babbling brooks and whispering pines." He does have a voice, for those who truly listen.

I laughed at the massage one! I never pictured you as a hedonist, Robert! (I'm the same way with back scratching.)

The ones on being yourself are so true. Too often, people act so phony and then complain that no one appreciates them for "who they really are."
