“You’re always doing for others. When was the last time you let others do for you?” ~ Billie Miller
I was taking my daughter to school this morning and I notice a dog running around the neighborhood by himself. He had a leash on him, so it was obvious that he had gotten away from his owner. It wasn’t long before I saw this frustrated lady coming around the corner. “Toby, get over here!” The dog saw her and took off running. Then the lady started making this strange blowing sound. When I realized that she was trying to whistle, it took everything in me to not laugh. I figured I’d help the lady out, so I let out a loud whistle for the dog. He ran back over to her, but he didn’t stop. He ran right pass her and went the other way. “Toby!!!” This lady wasn’t happy…but Toby was.
You’ve heard of dog stories like this before. Toby will eventually come back home, but now he was having a moment of freedom. When was the last time you were “off the chain” and enjoyed freedom? Maybe you’re a mother whom everyone looks to; maybe you’re a manager who everybody calls on. Take a vacation, get a pedicure, go fishing…it’s okay to have some “me” time. You deserve it.
