Sometimes one must change stuff in life, to feel the better vibes---and making changes is not an easy thing-- for example, ----We have gone to the same dog groomer forever---- Meanwhile Tess has aged considerably--so much so, that standing on this groomer's table for so long, just was too much for her. I asked the groomer if she could change her routine somewhat to accommodate this dog who is "living on the edge"- and----I got a response of, "Well, it's all part of the grooming process"-
I have changed groomers-- The new place is called, " Kind and Caring Grooming"---- and they certainly are kind and caring.- They came out to our vehicle and helped me in with the 2 Germans.--- I loved it! Good vibes immediately resonated! ---
So, I shall try to keep those good vibes flowing-- and to think, it all began with a "Kind and Caring" grooming place! ----
Good vibes feel so good!
I have one I added to my Reminders because sometimes I can go so wrapped up in things that before I know it, I've wasted my day being grouchy. Luckily it doesn't happen often but I now have this somewhere I will see it at least once a day.
ReplyDelete"Did you actually have a bad day, or did you have a bad 20 minutes that you’ve been milking all day?"
I laughed the first time I read it and then went back to get it when I realised that quote sometimes fit me!
I do get caught up with listening to strangers too. I'm terrible at breaking away and hate to interrupt their stories.
I'm so glad you found new groomers who do care. Sometimes voting with your feet is the best solution. ❤️
The new groomers sound lovely! May Tess feel cared for there! I love your daughter's advice, too. She cares about you, and wants you to be less burdened by the cares of others. 😍 So take care of YOU, and the others will fit in around that.
ReplyDeleteYes! Agree! Life is to short with toxic people. That sounds harsh, but it does help!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you are still blogging and I read every day. I miss that I can’t hit the line button to let you know that I am here, listening, and smiling!
Have a great, happy day!
so glad you found a new groomer and are having good vibes. Your daughter is correct. No need to have any bad vibes around you. Life is too short.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I missed yesterday's "words of wisdom"....guess my errands started too early & I was gone half the day. You are so on target & I thank you for all said.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thing, to have a new groomer, with a heart, for an elderly dog! Thankful that you changed. Was a good idea. Take care.
ReplyDeleteChange of groomer sounds like a winner. This week another former Sparker posted an image for setting boundaries that is hilarious -- I realized that my attempts at putting up boundaries weren't working because of gaps in what I allow. Check it out at https://therightdeb.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the blog. That sure is me!! Guess I really haven't done it right. Thanks for the morning laugh you brighten my day!
DeleteYeah but children won't eliminate themselves - lol just kidding...hubby either - lol sounds like a great move on the groomer
ReplyDeleteLynda, I am so glad you found a groomer who is kind. Does Beau get as upset when he goes there?
ReplyDeleteYou are a very caring person and people can sense that in you which is why they tell you all their troubles. This is a good thing and a bad thing. Good because people need some one who cares and unfortunately there are not that many people who do really care. And bad because you are bogged down with a lot of excess stuff to worry about which you shouldn't do but do because you care. It is just a big circle. I know you said you don't pray but you did discover that God does hear and listen. The reason I said this is because what you can do which might help you is when you hear things that make you want to worry turn it over to God and keep turning it over until you realize you are not worried. I don't think you want to stop being caring because that is who you are. I wish there were a lot more people who were caring can you imagine what this world would be like....
Thanks for writing your blog you always brighten my day or make me stop and think. Both are good. I have learned so much from you. So thanks again.
That’s wonderful news about the new groomers, they obviously care about pets and keeping them comfortable. I’m a lot like you in that I don’t like to make waves but sometimes you have to make changes for your own good. I’ve had another really busy day and is 3pm already and I usually read your blog a lot earlier. I did get in a lot of steps though which is good. Have a great weekend! 👍 🐕🦺 💐
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear your new groomer is working out for you . . . I am on my 3rrd groomer in 3 years . . .she's not as good as the 1st but more convenient an the second and in our rural area that is important. I just can' groom a 97lb Newf all by myself. Your daughter is very wise . . . like her mother.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found a more compassionate groomer for Tess and Beau. And I agree with your daughter, hanging out with cranky people regularly makes it difficult to remain positive. (I was just reading a article discussing how being around a person who is generally stressed can negatively impact and increase the stress of a person.) Hitting that balance of being compassionate and having boundaries as to time with negative folks is a good thing. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your daughter. Everyone can have an occasional bad day, but some people make a habit of it. Just the sound of their voice can set your teeth on edge.
ReplyDeleteOH that sounds like a fantastic groomer (Kind and Caring Grooming). I’d write off the other one, for sure.
ReplyDeleteYES! Your DD gave you good advice. Have to be sure you have lots of POSITIVE BIVES in your life.
Wonderful thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI am also cutting people out of my life that ring me down I know that there are amazing people like you out there
ReplyDeleteBeth here. I am glad you found the new groomer. Anyone who is compassionate enough to give an elderly dog time for whatever it needs, a rest or a potty break etc., is definitely the person I would take my dogs to.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you posted this. Tell your daughter I agree, I had to do that recently, trying to keep someone at arm's length. Let's see if it works, I believe in moderation.
ReplyDeletegood news for the Dogs too.
I can't believe I haven't been to this computer since Tuesday! Had a lot of catching up with you to do. Went through your whole week of trials and triumphs in one sitting ;> Love Flitterbyg's quote - it fits me so well - something about taking a 20 minute upset in the morning and milking it all day to have a "bad day". I'm going to have to stop doing that! Sending good vibes for you, Himself and Tess (and Beau, too) - all your dear ones. Oh, and the Queen!
ReplyDeleteThe new groomers sound way better than the last place!
