Dogs really are my favorite things. I know I talk a lot about other favorite things, but I think that it is because most of the time I choose to view life like a dog; I am curious about most activities, people and ideas that come my way.
Perhaps you have seen this before. If so or if not, I hope that you can enjoy the simple pleasures that take place every day in the life of a dog:

The point of this little exercise is that you should do everything with enthusiasm. Life can get rather routine and monotonous. Being in an Optimist Club can seem repetitive for we do many of the same programs over and over again every year. Some call that consistency. Some call it boring. I call it it necessary and encourage you to see the new people and new challenges that appear each year. It's up to you to bring enthusiasm to the forefront every day.
Your life is worth it. You are worth it. Like the puppy in the picture - go for the bubbles and keep smiling all the way.
