If we can be
thoroughly engaged in the pleasure that stems from a great cappuccino, the chalky ceramic mug, the airy foam, the milky goodness that lies beneath, the rich fragrance rising in the steam, the warmth traveling from your fingertips to the root of your heart, the chatter in the cafe
swimming all around you... and you haven't even had a sip yet... If we can be
thoroughly engaged in the tears that spring up
after a long, trying Tuesday, allowing our sorrow and self - pity to flood forth without judgment or frustration, saturating ourselves with empathy and self - comfort, treating our pain as we would a loved one's... we are not denying our pain, we are relishing it, we are feeling it, and we are opening ourselves up to the immense pleasure we can feel once the pain has passed.
When Grooming, bathing or
after swimming, it is also important to
thoroughly dry your pet's ears each and every time.
