Favorite Thing 1

This week I am going spend time posting some of my favorite things that ultimately make me happy. Above is a photo of the newest addition to our family, Avery. We have had her for about 2 months now and she has brought such joy. I must admit that I'm slightly obssessed with the word freedom. According to dictionary.com the defintion of freedom is the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint. Then when referring to the philosophy of freedom: it is the power to exercise choice and make decisions without constraint from within or without. So, as you may have deduced I was afraid how having a dog might change my ability to do what I wished when I wished. Thankfully, I decided that the rewards would be far greater than the sacrifices and I am so happy that I did. I wonder how often I have missed out on an opportunity to grow and be enriched do to my unwillingness to let go of my freedom or to merely let go. What is holding you back these days from happiness, fulfillment, contentment, joy??
