And what aboutrepparttar “whens”? A fun day would be when I’m out of school, or when I don’t have to work, or when I get my credit cards paid off, or when I’m an adult.

And what aboutrepparttar 101689 fantasies? A fun day would be going torepparttar 101690 moon, or buying a $1,000,000 home, or sitting in a hot tub with Britney Spears, or talking with Albert Einstein, or meeting your great-great-great grandmother.

Well, how about this answer from my six-year-old friend?

Q: What would be your idea of a fun day? A: Today.

How immediate children are. How focused they are onrepparttar 101691 moment. And when you stop and think about it, why not today? It either lies before us, rich with possibilities, or it lies behind us, withrepparttar 101692 possibility of focusing onrepparttar 101693 fun that was had, or right now we could decide to have fun or maybe we are. If you aren’t having fun right now, you could be inrepparttar 101694 next moment.

But why stop and think about it. “Today” isrepparttar 101695 best possible answer to that question.

Carpe diem. Seizerepparttar 101696 moment! Children do it so well. Why do we lose this capacity? Next time someone asks you, “What’s your idea of a fun day?” I hope you say, “Today.”

Volunteer and Take Your Dog With You

Written by Susan Dunn, MA, The EQ Coach

Best visiting dogs enjoy meeting strangers, approach in a friendly, not aggressive manner, tolerate strange situations, and calm quickly.

Begin with basic obedience training. Then start accustoming your dog to strange places and people so they learn to trust they’ll be okay wherever you take them.

Then choose your venue, a place where your dog can shine. Your dog may be overstimulated by a bunch of squealing kids, or despondent atrepparttar relative quiet of a nursing home.

Investigate opportunities through The Bright & Beautiful therapy Dogs, Inc. - http://www.pet-therapist.com, , Therapy Dogs International, Inc. - http://www.tdi-dog.org, and Delta Society - http://deltasociety.org and schedule your visit. Or go it alone. If you and your dog are ready, call a volunteer director and arrange your visit.
