August Break: Day 21

Essentially, meditation is the noble act of making friends with yourself. Breath by breath, moment by moment, you recover a sense of freshness, openness, and alertness. Through this practice, you cultivate a mind that is flexible and observant, a mind that knows how to remain present and receptive under all circumstances…the very definition of fearlessness. ~Susan Piver

August Break: Day 20

Sam has been feeling a bit left out, since it seems like all I think about, all I talk and blog about lately is Dexter.

Every summer, Sam turns from an entirely black dog to a mix of black and red. It’s the weirdest thing, like he gets highlights from being out in the sun. It’s the one time of year you can really see the German Shepherd in him, whereas the rest of the year, he’s all Lab and Border Collie.
