I love life and live life to the fullest. (7 November 2009) InnerSelf.com - Focus of the Day: I love life and live life to the fullest. ********************************* InnerSelf.com - Daily Inspiration: Life surrounds us with teachers, if we are but willing to learn. Actually, everyone and everything in our life is our teacher. They teach by example something we'd like to attain or something we'd like to abandon. One of my greatest teachers is my dog, Angel. He shows me by example that one must drink a lot -- and I mean a lot -- of water. He eats only when hungry, a few mouthfuls at a time and then goes on to something else. He reminds me of the importance of taking time -- for myself -- to play, to laugh, to go out into nature and enjoy the moment. He has reminded me of the importance of being loyal to friends, curious and interested in strangers, and always willing to explore new territories and adventures. He has demonstrated to me, day after day, the importance of loving life, and living life, to the fullest. He reminds me to greet each day with a wagging tail (or in my case, a smile ), to get excited about going for a walk -- to be so delighted (and to show it exuberantly) when a friend comes to visit, to enjoy life to the fullest, and yet also know when and how to rest and relax to the fullest.
