Old Dog Learns New Tricks

2 Comments

Who says old dogs can’t learn new tricks? In just one week

a new dog has

taught this old dog

to be patient,

 

work less, play more, get up early and see the stars,

seek joy in the

smallest things, a

crackly leaf,

 

sunrise, sunset, tummy rubs, wild geese, juicy worms,

and most of all

the sweet warmth of

absolute love.

I am an octogenarian, mother, grandmother, wife, sister, friend, voracious reader, and amateur poet. I am dedicated to keeping both my mind and body active through yoga and tai chi, walks with my dog, rich discussion with my book club and 80+ groups, and numerous other activities. I have a deep curiosity about the world and its inhabitants.
