7/13/09 meditation class, Dogs--should I get a pup?

The day started on the way to Meditation Class.  I saw a man walking an adorable Beagle puppy,  and I thought about all the people who think I shouldn't get a puppy.  When I'm honest about it,  I'm really a cat person.  My favorite pets have been Shanti,  our family cat,  Socks,  the cat that Luke and I had when we were first married,  and of course Jelly Bean our chinchilla.   

I got a few books on freshwater fish from the 1/2 price book store.  But even there,  I really want a salt water tank.  If I did that,  I'd have to hire someone to help me take care of it.  Do I want to spend my money that way?  I love sea anenome with those beautiful arms waving in the sea water.  And where would we put the tank?  If we put it in the little livingroom,  Luke wouldn't enjoy it because he doesn't spend much time in the livingroom.  Ohhh.  I don't know.

And then,  there's one of Diamond's pups.  

More on pets as I go along.  By the way,  most of my family members are allergic to cats,  or I'd have a kitten right now.

Meditation class keeps getting more peaceful and deeper.  I let myself meditate at the end of class.  I seem to step back so easily and let the shakti flow and I flow with it.  It's such an amazing experience for me.  Like I'm going down a river --slowly on a soft raft.  It's a summer day and I'm so relaxed,  so at peace.  The class members seem to feel the same way.  

As we're driving home,  I see more dogs and wonder.  Would I make a good dog owner ?  Do I want any kind of pet?  

I go upstairs and start sorting business/tax papers.  I realize that my work of some months ago--that is almost all of the 08 tax papers are in a folder.  But where?  Luke asked me what the folder looked like and I don't remember.  This has me worried.  Luke thinks we'll find it in the next few days.  I hope so.  

My work area is a mess.  I need to clean up this mess.  But tonight I really must work on my notes for the Miracles Workshop.
