I've learned that in this world you have to work on the talents that you have and ignore (or make fun of)those you don't. So, my dog isn't a "rocket scientist." BIG DEAL! He's the most beautiful dog in the world.
I was just thinking about this today, after class. I'm not a 4.0 student. But, BOY OH BOY, do I have people skills. So, I need to put together an outstanding resume, follow up with a phone call, and *Shazam!* I can have any job I want (How's that for positive self-talk?). So what if I don't have a 4.0? I just need to make that one phone call and get that interview and I'm in. And I was thinking about dancing too. I CAN NOT DANCE! I can hardly walk! And men say, "Well, I'll make you look good." Imagine the surprise (and horror) when I get on the dance floor and I make them look very, very (VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY) bad! But, I was thinking this morning, when I started dancing in front of the mirror and saw the horror in my own eyes (and I've never seen such horror!!!), "Well, from now on, when someone asks me to dance and I decline I can instead say 'Let's talk instead.' (or insert verb)" I can't keep being sad about the things I can't do and instead focus on the things I do well (and there are many things I do very well, want a list??)....
So, back to my dog.... He's no brainiac. And he certainly isn't toilet trained. But he's the sweetest dog you'll ever meet. And he's so beautiful I fear that someone may snatch him up. As well, my boyfriend was pretend fighting me last night and "Buster Brown" came to my defense and pounced on my old man faster than ugly on ape. He was seriously upset. He started chewing on his bone, as if to say, "I'll show you what I can do." He may not be good at math, but he won't end up at the junk yard. He's much too pretty to be a junk yard dog. He'd be a super model dog instead (and they ain't always smart either)(I know, I know I'll get he!! for that one)....
