November.  Fall time in full swing.  And yes, once again “the holidays” are upon us.  It seems this year there has been a shift in focus; a good shift.  There is actually some focus on Thanksgiving this year.  We haven’t gone from Halloween straight to Christmas.

Nice.  Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday.  A time to reflect on all we have.  Health, family, friends, the freedom to make choices.  Dogs seem to get that on a daily basis.  The gratitude of the wag is there, every morning and every night.  No matter what.

It’s something we should adopt more of.  Every day is a new day and we make it what we think about all day.  It does come down to how you choose to view the day.  Get up and start with a wag.  Be thankful.  The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life.

This year before the actual Thanksgiving holiday I’m encouraging all of my dog training clients to take on their dog’s attitude when they get up in the morning.  Get up and first thing, wag!

Making your human list of things to be thankful for can inspire you to practice it every day.  Literally write it down and let your dog be the reminder.  When you see that morning wag, go through and think about your list of thanks.

I am thankful for:

• My health
• My life partner
• My dogs, the most beautiful Weimaraner & the sweetest ever Yellow Lab
• Our home
• An active lifestyle
• A wonderful career in dog training and personal coaching
• My family & friends

You get the idea.  Add to it everyday as things come to you.  It is true that the more you focus on the good the more the negative side of things tend to fade in our lives.  What you focus on is what your life is made up in the moment.  Take a serious lesson from the dog, this moment is what is!

Look for daily motivational quotes for you and the dog on our Facebook Fan Page and have a wonderful day, Thanksgiving and the rest of your life.

Wag!
