Human’s like routines. Consistent patterns of repetitive behavior that we do not need to think about. Advice is often given that someone feeling bored or unhappy with their present life position should change their routine. Energize themselves by breaking from familiar patterns of activities. Sometimes, life intercedes and does this for us.
My domain name and many of my early posts were based on photos taken while walking our dog Comet. Then I broke my ankle while walking Comet and my walks with Comet and my camera have stopped. So too, then, my thematic crutch (pun).
I miss taking long walks. I miss taking long walks with Comet. I miss his impatient yelping every time I make him sit still while I try to get a shot. I miss his proud prance when praised. I miss the numerous compliments he receives. Walking with Comet is good for my soul. I don’t miss picking up his poop, however. I don’t think collecting his poop did anything for my soul or any aspect of my being. I hope to be able to start walking with Comet in the next few weeks, once I am out of my walking boot and no longer using a crutch.
In thinking about all this, I realized I have never posted a photo of Comet. Maybe I don’t like competition.
