Well, today is a typical Sunday. Didn't really do much today, then went to work tonight. It's slow, as usual, since it's Sunday, so nothing too exciting happened. I'm exhausted from the week and the weekend, so I don't really feel like blogging. Nothing overly exciting happened to me today, for me to feel the need to urgently tell you about it.
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Happy Monday! And Happy February! ;) Crazy, I know!
Note to self: Stop complaining about all of the little things that "go wrong" in your life. It could be so much worse! Suck it up, read the story below, and just be thankful you are healthy.
This dog was born on Christmas Eve in 2002. He was born with two legs. He, of course, could not walk when he was born. Even his mother didn't want him. His first owner also did not think he could survive and was thinking of putting him to sleep. But then, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him. She became determined to teach and train this little dog to walk by himself. She named him, Faith.
In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard to let him feel the movement. Later, she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward him for standing up and jumping around. Even the other dog at home encouraged him to walk. Amazingly, only after six months, like a miracle, Faith learned to balance on his hind legs, and to jump to move forward. After further training, in the snow, he could now walk like a human being.
Faith now loves to walk around. No matter where he goes, people are attracted to him. He is quickly becoming famous on the international scene and has appeared in various newspapers and on television shows. There is now a book entitled, "With a Little Faith," being published about him. He was even considered to appear in one of the Harry Potter movies.
Jude has given up her teaching post and plans to take him around the world to preach, that even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul.
In life, there are always undesirable things. So, in order to feel better, you just need to look at life from another direction. I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day. Faith is the continual demonstration of the strength and wonder of life.
Hope you enjoyed it! My friend, Jennifer, sent it to me in an e-mail! It's a tear-jerker! ;)
