DBastian: Another beautiful day! I wish I could show you ...
    K.W.: In full agreement!! -


DBastian: There is always a reason to be thankful.
    DBastian: Maybe you need a fresh, unbiased perspective :) -


DBastian: The sun is shining in my eyes, on my shoulder, and everywhere. Amazed at how a little sunshine makes up for a bleak winter :)
    Debra White: Enjoy it :) We have grey skies and drizzle here. And it's freeeeezing! -
    DBastian: I did ... drizzled here last night, but i see the sun peeking through again ... -


DBastian: Sometimes I wish I were a story, on course for an exquisite or tantalizing outcome. Maybe I am ...
    shelley kaye: we all are. and only the god and goddess know how it will end and what happens next....

    -
    DBastian: Oh, to see us through their eyes! -


DBastian: Another day, another opportunity ...
    William Walz: Reminds me of the special ed teacher who used to say...another day, another dullard. -


DBastian: The adventure starts right now (any adventure)


DBastian: A couple thoughts for today:

1) When anyone writes a poem and does not feel naked afterwards, then it is probably not their best.

2) As we do not expect the unexpected, life becomes quite an adventure

3) I should have expected my Lab would find a way to smell like a deer; an adventure for both of us!
    Bellydanser: I really like your number 1. :) Sorry to hear about the deer smell adventure. Fodder for the writing. -
    DBastian: thanks ... I like that one, too :) -


DBastian: If you want to teach, you must first understand


DBastian: Yawwnnn ... time to walk the girls. Into the ice storm.
    K.W.: blech blech blech. not the girls...cold! -


DBastian: Energy drinks are pretty cool. Drink one before going to sleep at night, and you wake up very energized ... an hour later
    RominaItalia: Wow...you actually get an hour? I don't see that hour for at least 24. -
    DBastian: Hmmm ... what's your secret? My girls let me sleep a little longer last night. The warmth of the dark one's body feels nice at first - on this winter night ... but eventually I am sweating :) -


DBastian: If we don't do it, God can't use it ...


DBastian: Here is what my girls asked me, today (on our walk). They are quite intelligent Labs, by the way:

What happens when we discover we are not what we thought we wanted to be, yet we are where we thought we should be?

They and me had quite different answers :)

Have a great day
    K.W.: I'm just curious whose answer was more enlightened:) -
    9999pool: The question to get the answer is the 'what thought' and 'where'.
    It had to do with a dog's place (for the dogs to relate to)- probably the vet.
    Nobody wants to be sick, right?
    They have to go to the vet which is where they should be.
    Dave said this is the right place.
    The dogs whined and said "Oh no! Again?"
    Dogs have sixth sense and their eyes will tell the owner what they are thinking especially when it is in the vet's clinic.
    This guess will be quite close to the answer. -
    DBastian: My girls are always more enlightening ... -
    DBastian: They actually thought they should be human. The other day they discovered they were really deer - and they were right where they wanted to be: In the midst of a bunch of deer poop which they promptly rolled in and soon, sure enough, they smelled like deer. -
    DBastian: So, I guess you can still pretend to be what you want to be as long as you are where you think you should be. -
    DBastian: As I hear one of them drinking out of the toilet, I might be wrong about their intelligence ... -
    9999pool: This sure is a funny story. You should write this 'hoot' story and let all of us have a good laugh. haha. My hoot "Listen, listen, listen" is creating a hooting community now, cross my heart. LOL. -
    RominaItalia: If we take this seriously, then the question becomes how did you get to the where and can you face yourself in knowing who you were in doing so....but who the heck wants to be serious right now, when you've got a funny hooting story and two cute labs. :D -
    DBastian: Yeah, you're right - so much material!
    Hmmm Rominaltalia ... that little serious streak of yours ... I think you have a very good point there! -
    K.W.: did you roll in the deer poop too? ;) -
    DBastian: unintentionally ... someone had to wash them off. So, yeah, I was a deer for a while, too. In that case, I was not what I thought I wanted to be ... -


DBastian: I'd like to share some warmth with someone ... it is cold over here!
    DIS-illusioned: Hmm!...Sounds more like a ploy to get us to share 'our' warmth with you, who is cold over there. :)) -
    RominaItalia: I've got cold beat...24 inches of snow awaiting and counting. Fun. -
    K.W.: who said "winter kills". so apt. I'm ready for spring!!! -


DBastian: Early morning reviews, waking up, pleas xcuse the speling erors
    Julia.: COFFEE!!!! (I heartily recommend it). :) -


DBastian: Sleepless in Ohio
    DBastian: I guess so ... I heard there is something called zzzquil - I think I will try it :) -
