Tobermory Cloud Dancer
Happy Birthday to Tobermory Cloud Dancer who was two years old yesterday_that magic age when puppies become dogs. Right! Somehow I expect for this guy it will take longer. For now, we will just be thankful he has improved as much as he has and realize that the day will come when his super energy will only be a sweet memory.
The pre-holiday-rush season has arrived. Yesterday was cyber-Monday, the day when all good American shoppers spend the day surfing the Internet for deals to buy more stuff. My rebel self says, “well, I don’t want to follow the crowd. I’ll stay away from that time-sucker.” STOP! “Not to do”, said Miss Goldie, one of F.M.Alexander’s first teachers-in-training. “But”, says I, “I AM stopping. I am not going to participate in this shopping mania.” Oh my! In that moment of stopping I realize that maybe there could be a prize or two shopping early online. Maybe, with a little thought, I can participate and avoid the last minute surge of shopping when the spirit finally kicks in. The little red book will come out; I’ll do some planning ahead. Well, maybe not too far ahead. I’ve missed that boat. It’s already the last week in November. I am already a bit behind the curve. It may be too late to create my Laura Ingles Wilder storybook holiday, but perhaps by stopping today to make a plan I will have time to insert just a tiny bit of homespun spirit into the techno world that the holiday has become!
Happy Birthday sweet Tobey! Bring the Holiday Spirit on.
