Reach for the Stars- even if you don't get there, half way isn't bad!
Adopt a long legged beauty- They are the greatest dogs on earth, kind of like a giant cat! Greyhounds! of course.
My dog taught me- to jump for joy, run fast, and let the wind blow through your hair.
I hope you all are doing well and living the lives you always dreamed of. I haven't gotten there yet, but I am working on it. :)
