Well it’s good to know that others feel blocked from time to time, too. Funny how you start noticing the phenomenon when you acknowledge it publicly/to yourself: see also Christina, Angel… anyone else?

I actually have so much I could write about, but that I can’t write about, that I find myself silenced.
Work is so interesting these days - I am learning so much and having such interesting conversations - but it wouldn’t be right to blog any of it, for confidentiality reasons. I used to write about life on the whole, but these days work seems to take up so much of my attention I can’t think how I would separate work from the rest of my life. At least, not so’s I’d have something worth writing about.
Maybe, like Fiona, I need to rethink this blog? What should I write about? Or should I give this a break and see what floats to the surface?

When you live with a dog you are constantly being reminded of how to enjoy yourself, how to find pleasure in simple things, and how to make the most of every moment.
This picture shows Paco enjoying a bone on his new futon, a gift from jl (thanks again, jl!). Paco’s joy is just wonderful to see - and it doesn’t take much to evoke joy in him. Just give him a new bone, a toy, or play with him, or take him on an outing or a walk, or have visitors, or visit someone (especially if they have a dog too), and he is so happy he could burst.
When he is sad he shows it immediately and unequivocally, and yet he doesn’t sulk or hold grudges. He gets over it quickly, forgives wholeheartedly and loves completely.
Am I anthropomorphising? Maybe, but so what? Paco is very good for me.
