Whatever You Want Honey

Today has been rough. I am not going to go into all the sordid details of my day, but I’ll give you an idea of what’s happening. It started late last night and continued through about 10 minutes ago.

The short of it is a friend’s dad is very ill, another friend is upset (I do not know that story, yet), another friend thinks I hate her because I failed to return an e-mail eons ago (JM – I love you, really!), a client is upset, a financial crisis hit, after 2 months of waiting my son still doesn’t have health insurance, I have piles of paperwork that is filling my desk, it’s too darn hot in my office, my cat scoops his food out of his bowl and decorates the floor with it, my wife is in a tizzy, her mouth is in pain cause I haven’t taken her to the dentist, my son is acting like he got sugar injections every half hour for the last week and it is all starting to kick in, let’s see…is there anything else?…Probably. But for now, isn’t that enough?!

On the lighter side, my dog, Sydnie, sits at my side to reassure me that all is well, because I am here.

It is this kind of thinking that I have missed in the stress of my day. My dog loves and treats me like I need to love and treat others; with quiet empathy, utmost love and adoration. MAN, did I miss the mark today! So, to those I’ve wronged, I love you I didn’t mean to hurt you. To those who are in pain, my heart goes out to you. To those I’ve neglected, I’m here. To those in financial troubles, do not worry, tomorrow takes care of itself. To those who have organization skills, I need you. To everyone, hug a neck of someone you love right now!!!!! You never know if you will ever see or talk to them again.

I am getting ready to take some time off, visit a friend, hug my son, cuddle with my wife and hopefully blow off some steam in the process. Wish me luck!

P.S. I was serious about the hugging thing. Go do it, now.
