You Think You’re Cynical?

I had it out with my dog this morning.

She barked at the dormant lawnmower, and then looked up at me.

I was like: You’re only doing that for the attention…

And she was like: Woof.

And I said: I can’t believe I actually thought for a second that my dog thought she was sneaking something past me. Her actions are pretty transparent. Of course, she’s occasionally sneaky, but when she is it’s for food or attention. And she’s just so cute when she does that.

Anyway, I put my cynicism in check and officially started my day over.

Music solves a lot of problems for me. In this case I was humming “I Just Want to Celebrate” from Rare Earth before I even got back in the house. I’d moved on to U2’s “Beautiful Day” by the time I was pouring the food in Maggie’s bowl.

Now? I’m going for another cup of coffee.
