I’m three weeks in, posting daily! Haven’t missed a day…66 to go 😉 Don’t know if I’ll continue after reaching my goal, for now I just want to make sure that there are 90 authentic records of me and Puzzle walk’in. I think he enjoys the posting more than me. He has absolutely no clue about social media, but he loves stopping more regularly as I struggle to take a photo or video in the early morning darkness. (Hence the grainy pics – sorry, I hope it will get better as Spring approaches.)
Before Walk’in, I used the hurry him along much more – rushing to who knows where. I’ve since realised that nobody even misses me for those extra 10 minutes that we spend en route. Where on earth was I going so urgently? But also not just in the mornings. Generally. As if there was an invisible hand on my back pushing me forward. To where? To what?
Then a new perspective hit me hard. Puzzle has spent just over 3000 days of his life with us, and statistically, he has just over 2000 left (makes me feel sick…). Every day that I wish to be over, every hour that I hurry forward is just one closer to day zero. Why on earth would I rush it? Why would you? Nope. I’m gonna make every single one of them 2000 count, and then some.
(Winter showed up spectacularly today!)
