Sniff It Well
Everything we need to know about a person or situation is there for us to see from the very beginning. So why do we so often find ourselves shocked by the way a relationship or business falls apart?
We weren’t paying close enough attention to what was right in front of our nose.
Joyful Springers sniff new things well. Instead of approaching new things with preconceived ideas and conclusions, they go into every encounter with an open desire to check it out … thoroughly.
When you meet someone new, listen and watch the person closely. When you start a new project, be alert and ultra-aware. Heightened attention creates heightened experiences.
… another wise tidbit from a joyful BEAGLE.
[Meet Starbuck. Starbuck was born on April 1, 2001 and lost a battle with cancer on December 3, 2009. His owners, Grace and Dave, love him the way I love my Muggins, and they miss him terribly and will carry him in their hearts forever. Starbuck, along with Grace and Dave's current dogs, who are slated to guest star here over the next two days, star on Puppy Jones, a place of great love for dogs and adorable comics and blogs. Thank you, Grace, for sharing this photo. Starbuck, may your tail be forever wagging as you explore the never-ending fields of pure joy.]
