Secrets to a Long and Fulfilling Journey
Wisdom in Verse for a Healthy, Happy, and Prosperous Existence
In life's grand tapestry, a secret told,
To live long and well, let wisdom unfold.
Embrace the gifts of nature, rich and pure,
A life of balance, one can endure.
Nourish the body with wholesome fare,
From earth's bounty, show utmost care.
Vegetables, fruits, and grains to savor,
In every vibrant hue, find life's flavor.
In exercise, find strength and grace,
A daily journey, a vibrant embrace.
Stretch the body, walk, and run,
Under the warmth of the golden sun.
Cultivate the heart with love and laughter,
With family and friends, find the hereafter.
In bonds that deepen, and moments shared,
We find the elixir, that long life's declared.
Seek knowledge and wisdom, never tire,
In learning's flames, let your soul aspire.
From books and mentors, the truth acquire,
A mind well-nourished, a soul on fire.
Stress, the silent foe, let it dissipate,
Through meditation, find your tranquil state.
A calm mind, a healthy heart,
A journey where you play your part.
In all things, moderation is the key,
For life's longevity, let this decree be.
Live with purpose, passion, and a song,
And you shall find your days grow long.
So, in this dance of life, be strong and wise,
Live long and full, beneath the boundless skies.
With each sunrise, a new day to start.

Dog Number 13
May 15, 2023 Strange things are happening. Good-strange, bad-strange, and strange-strange. For starters, me and all my litter mates are able to stand. Some of us can even wiggle around in a clumsy manner. I say wiggle because it isn’t quite walking but it isn’t quite crawling. We just sort of stand and wiggle and fall and take a few steps and then crawl and then get up again. It is in this manner we are able to move around to some degree and explore our surroundings. Naturally we cannot go far. Which is ok, I suppose, because I am very small and I need my mother for food and my siblings to keep me warm and I feel very loved and comforted by them in some way, so I don’t know why I would need to go very far. Having four legs, I must admit, is very strange. It is not a surprise to me that it is challenging to coordinate them to move in the order they need to move. But I can get around a little bit, my eyes can stay open for much longer periods of time now, and it is easier to understand what is happening. So this is new.
