Good morning my DU family, [View all]

I take Cuddles for his "walk" most days, adding the stop to feed Shadow's brother and sister who are still back in the woods behind my trailer.

Doing that gives meaning and purpose to those days when my back is so fragile, that I really only have that and feeding Petunia, and Shadow on my agenda. In other words, sometimes my pain is so bad that I'd do nothing if it wasn't for them.

It reminds me that life would be so empty without meaningful contact with others, be they friends, or strays. That contact is such a stabilizer when it comes to settling down feelings of anxiety, loneliness and low self worth.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to share our day with others, helping where we can, joining where we can, and offering our kindness and generosity where it may be of best use.

Have a generously rewarding day DU,
Love, John
