| Being here and now
When you're traveling at warp speed, as so many of us do (on autopilot, no less), you tend not to think much about what you're doing in and with your life. In the "busyness" of living, we lose ourselves as well as the precious moments of time. But our time on earth is the only time we have! When you concentrate on being fully present in the moment, the moments accululate over months and years into a life well lived.

WHY DOGS LIVES ARE SO MUCH SHORTER THAN HUMANS:
People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice.
Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long
