Good Dog Quote of the Week

"A cure for depression
“… and therein lies the genius of my teacher, my mother’s mother, who fulfilled herself completely by always forgetting herself in the joy and the welfare of all those around her. That is the only real cure for depression. It is the prescription that could come from any authentic spiritual physician. If you dwell upon yourself and your own private satisfactions, the first disappointment will throw you into a depression.
If you can train yourself to think more and more of the needs of those around you, to work with people even if they are not always pleasant, you will be making yourself immune to depression, and you will be helping others to do the same.
Eknath Easwaran _ 'Your Life is Your Message'"

Today's Good Dog Quote - Gratefulness

"'Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.'

Melodie Beattie
