My Dog Doesn’t Wipe Her Feet
There are things of which I am sure in this life:
One of us always gets there before the other.
Success is illusive and just a state of mind.
Crucial items will continue to hide from me.
Life takes meaning not from self love but from loving.
The internet only drops during a download.
Love isn’t about your heart it’s about needing.
Beating the remote adds life to the batteries.
Death’s not worth preparing for; life, however, is.
And despite training, my dog doesn’t wipe her feet.

John, this is exactly what I wanted to read right now. I am in that state of mind, you know. Thanks 🙂

This was great. Made me smile.
Thank you, Dara! 🙂 It’s a pleasure to meet you!
Very wise.
Thank you, Ron! 🙂 It’s great to meet you!
And also, every time I’m late, there’ll be a lot of traffic on the road. Its instant karma. No matter how we look at life, we can’t plan every aspect of it. Awesome post! 😀
Thank you! 🙂 Oh traffic is always its worst when we’re late. 😉
Anytime! And I know right!
😉
That last part… Just the touh of comedy needed for the anxiety that comes with not having control…
Thank you! 🙂
Universal certainties…it would seem. 😉
Thank you! 🙂 They are universal and a pain in the neck. lol
😀
Thanks! 🙂
Excellent – and so true!
Thanks, Chris! 🙂

Thank you, Sheri! 🙂 It’s great to meet you!
Read it first thing in the morning and couldn’t stop smiling. Thank you for making my day awesome.
Thank you! 🙂 I’m glad it helped bring a smile your way. 😀
Nice little dose of intermingled, common sense and chuckles, thanks! I constantly find myself pondering such things, in bed at night, when i ought to be sleeping.
Things like:
The phone never rings when you want it to, then never stops when you’re in the bath, up a ladder, or driving. I won’t be answering, so leave a message!
Life is too short for sitting around and fretting about how short life is! Lol! 😉
Thank you! 🙂 Oh you can say all of that again. Only when you can’t answer – that’s when the important call will come. lol Yes, life is short and if we sweat the small stuff we’ll wind up missing something big.
🙂 You are very welcome! Spot on!
Thank you! 🙂
“Success is illusive and just a state of mind” how beautifully said ❤
Loved every bit of this post 😊 So much meaning and depth, also, so much to learn 😊
Thank you, Hasmeet! 🙂 There’s always something to learn no matter how old we get. 😉
Yep 😊
Death’s not worth preparing for; life, however, is.
I immediately read this line twice. You couldn’t be more right! So far this year I have lost three extremely special people and attended three funerals.
Thank you for the well written statement, very insightful and touching.
Thank you! 🙂 In losing a loved one we’re reminded how precious life is. It’s a difficult time and one of life’s lowest points for many of us but it can remind us of what we should be focused on.
This is simply magnificent! I live for these kind of poems!
Thank you! 🙂 You’re far too kind. It’s great to meet you!
No. Thank you for sharing your works with us! I must say it’s great to meet you too! 🙂
Enjoyed. Always refreshing. Good post.
Thank you! 🙂
Boy that was clever!
“Crucial items will continue to hide from me”…welcome to my daily life!
Cheers!
The human condition…le sigh! 😀
I love the humor in this. This made my morning… “Success is a state of mind”
Thank you! 🙂
