Sometimes it can feel like what we want is very far away. Though we used to have a clear vision of our dream, now we can barely see it. When this happens, we have to find a way to get our goal back in focus.
Joyful Springers peek through the slats. By looking for things to appreciate and things that feel good, they find the path of least resistance to get their focus back on what they want.
When a dream is a long time coming, your disappointment puts you out of vibrational sync with what you want. Appreciating and doing things that make you feel good help you get in vibrational alignment with your desires again. Once you’re in alignment, you can put your happy focus back on what you want and watch it appear in your life.
… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.

A line from a Mark Akenside poem reads, “Seeks painted trifles and fantastic toys, and eagerly pursues imaginary joys.”
Joyful Springers face it eagerly. “It” is visions of wonder and magic and joy. They look toward their future with exuberant anticipation.
Instead of keeping your focus on an unpleasant present, put your expectant attention on a delightful future. The energy of your keen desire can turn the imaginary into reality.

Growing up in Philadelphia, Kevin Carroll discovered his life’s calling in a neighborhood playground when he found a red rubber ball. In his book, Rules of the Red Rubber Ball, he challenges people to find their own red rubber ball–a dream to chase for a lifetime.
Joyful Springers keep their red rubber ball on their minds. They spend each day in pursuit of their life’s calling, a calling that brings them joy.
What is your red rubber ball? What lights you up? When you keep your dream alive, you will find a way to live it.
… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.
[Muggins's red rubber ball, like those of most happy dogs, was play ... and loving me, her silly momma, even when I put a ball on top of her head when she was taking a nap.]

“If you can’t pay for a thing, don’t buy it. If you can’t get paid for it, don’t sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don’t wait for time.”

Pooh’s Little Instruction Book includes this bit of wisdom: “You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”
Although expecting and wanting what we want in our lives is essential to creating what we want, we can’t just sit around and wait for miracles. We have to take the energy of our desires and allow it to lead us to inspired action.
Joyful Springers load themselves up and go. They fill themselves with visions of who they want to know and what they want to experience, and then they follow their instincts and go for what they want when it feels right.
If you’ve been waiting a long time for something to happen, spend some time today feeling like it already has. Then pay attention to what you feel like doing next … and go where your spirit leads you.
… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.
[Meet Emma, and say hello again to Sidney. Emma was only eight years old when she passed away on May 8, 2009. The slow and gentle girl who earned the nickname, Eeyore, because she moved like the character in the Winnie the Pooh stories, belonged for an all-too short eighteen months to Catherine Jones. Not long after Emma was adopted, she developed cancer, and in spite of a valiant and graceful battle with the disease, she moved on from this world to a place of pure comfort and joy. She passed away in Catherine's arms, as Catherine soothed her by singing, "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine." Catherine says Emma left a "big impression on many people." Emma, Catherine says, "taught us so much in the short time she was with us." Sidney grieved the loss of her "sister" deeply. Be always in joy, Emma and thanks, Emma and Sidney, for guest starring on The Joyful Springer.]

Procrastination can be our worst enemy. It holds our dreams at bay.
It can be hard to break through the wall of resistance procrastination creates. But it can be done, and it only takes a little bit of effort to do it.
Joyful Springers hop to it. They know that if they can take one happy step toward what they want, energy will rush in and help them go the rest of the way.
If you’ve been procrastinating on a project or goal, you can break through your resistance today. Think of one little thing you can do toward your goal, and to quote comedian, Larry the Cable Guy, “Get ‘er done.”

Just because it hasn’t been done before doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Just because no one else knows how to do it doesn’t mean you can’t.
Joyful Springers run where others don’t. They pursue their ideas to completion even when they’re told what they want to do is an impossible dream.
Do you have a wild idea that others scoff at? Go after that idea. Leave the scoffers in the dust.

Did you know that the last thought you have in your mind before you go to sleep will determine the attitude and subconscious mindset you wake up with?
Your subconscious mind takes instructions from you. If you give it negative images in the form of worried thoughts, it will help you create negative experiences. Your subconscious does a lot of its work at night, and your last thoughts before sleep give your subconscious its nighttime instructions.
Joyful Springers sleep restfully because they take positive images into their sleep.
When you go to bed tonight, imagine yourself doing something that makes you feel great and fall asleep with that image and feeling in your mind. When you do this, you’ll enjoy a restful sleep and you’ll awaken programmed for positive experiences throughout your day.
… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.
[Muggins always had restful sleep when she snoozed with her boyfriend, Bugs, the Basset Hound.]

Thomas Edison said, “The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.”
Joyful Springers develop stick-to-itiveness at an early age. They hang onto their dreams and goals.
If there’s something you want, clamp onto it and don’t let go. If you remain true to your vision, you will achieve success.

A caterpillar has to get into a cocoon to transform into a butterfly, but we don’t have to hide away in order to transform ourselves.
Joyful Springers know cocoons are unnecessary. They understand they can lift off and fly any time they want.
All it takes for you to change from caterpillar to butterfly today is a shift in perspective and focus. You can fly toward your dreams TODAY.
… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.
[Muggins was fascinated by this caterpillar when she spotted it. She never tried to eat it. She just "talked" to it and studied it carefully.]

When you close your eyes to rest, your mind often wanders. It can wander into the past and find unhappy memories, or it can wander into the future and conjure up sweet dreams of great things yet to come.
Joyful Springers are their sweet dreams. They use their thoughts to live into what they desire, not what they regret.
You become what you think about. So if you’re rehashing bad memories, you become the negativity of your past. If you’re thinking about things you’d like to have in the future, you become the joy of what is yet to come.
… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.
[I took this picture of Ducky when she was about 12 weeks old. She'd just joined our family, but she settled in immediately and loved to snooze in my lap with her paws on the lap desk that holds my laptop computer.]
