Go For It | The Joyful Springer

Floor It

Posted September 26, 2011 By Ande and has 2 comments.

Anyone who has a past without failure or disappointment in it is … well, probably a robot. Unfortunately, though, too many of us let memories of past missteps keep us from moving head with new ventures.

Joyful Springers floor it. Instead of focusing on what has gone wrong, they look up toward what could go right and then they go full speed ahead when they set a new goal.

You can be all hang dog about what hasn’t gone your way before. Or you could be bright-eyed about what just might go your way now. Try picking the bright-eyed attitude. You’ll find it revs up that go-for-it motor so you can zip toward what you want in life.

[Meet Leila. This adorable three year old, three pound Yorkie is Max's new adopted sister. (Remember Max the Yorkie from Texas?) Max's and Leila's momma, Francine says that Max is being a good boy and tolerating his new sister. How could you not love that face? ]

Load Yourself Up And Go

Posted July 9, 2010 By Ande and has no comments yet.

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.

[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.]

Run Where Others Don’t

Posted June 27, 2010 By Ande and has no comments yet.

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.

[Flash is back. In this photo, Flash, who belongs to the wonderful breeders we have to thank for our Ducky--Sally and Warren Wattenbarger, was at a hunt test (and I'm sure he did great!). Thanks, Flash, for guest starring again on The Joyful Springer.]
