resolutions
my first resolution for 2008 was to start taking the bus to work…this has been accomplished with great success, now allowing me two extra hours in my day….the extra hour in the morning used to catch up on doctor who books on tape…books on ipod just doesn’t sound quite right…the extra hour in the afternoon being a perfect amount of time to doze and reflect on another day done.
second resolution is to start volunteering at the humane society. you know those shows like animal precinct where you see the aspca officers in houston or new york or chi-CA-go saving the mangy pups left in a ditch; the horses with severe cuts or starvation; the seventy cats in one house left to die after their owner was hauled off to the hospital…you know those shows? yeah, they make me cry…sob, if you want to get technical.
when i was young and a bit more naive, i thought i could save every animal that came along…so at various points i had various animals, culminating with owning five dogs - yes, all at the same time.
now i have to hope that volunteering a bit of my time each week will help to heal at least one animal’s hurt. people can be very cruel…
