puppy love
I watched my puppy curled beneath my chair,
paws to nose, eyes tightly closed,
cuddly like a dark koala bear,
breathing gently, fast asleep;
smelling from sleep-warmed puppy fur -
and I loved him.

We have a hive of bees under the roof near the bathroom. They aren’t much trouble in winter and we hardly know they’re there. But in the spring they go crazy.
They seem to get intoxicated by the spring air. They get so excited that they lose their way and get into the bathroom through the open window.
Now, rather stupidly, I get awfully sorry for those lost and frustrated bees. So I spend quite a bit of time carefully fishing them out of the bathtub with a tissue and sending them out on their way.
Sometimes I can find up to 40 bees buzzing frantically against the window pane trying to get out.
If I open the window and usher them out they dance away into the sunlight. But if I leave the window closed, in an hour they are all lying dead on the floor.

I wonder if “bird brain” is the right term to use for this clever crow. Because the bird in this video shows remarkable intelligence. So much so that if I merely told you ab0ut it you would find it hard to believe.
But seeing is believing!
So take a look at how this crow uses amazing ingenuity to get a small bucket of food out of a beaker. He is a problem solver of the first order.
Is it fair to presume that we are the only thinking beings on the planet?
If we had a better relationship and a little more respect for our birds and animals we wouldn’t be in danger of losing so many of our threatened species.
Here is the video: Clever Crow

If you are dealing with conflict in your relationship it really is the pits. A relationship plagued with arguments is not only depressing – it can also be demoralizing.
Conflict in your relationship
But while this is the unfortunate lot of many couples today, the good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way.
It doesn’t have to signify the end of a beautiful friendship.
You can change the direction your relationship is taking. Because the path it follows is largely guided by the way you handle conflict.
Interestingly, how you manage conflict is an important sign of the health and resilience of your relationship. At the same time it reveals a lot about your personalities too.
The problem is that most of us don’t really know how we react to conflict. We become so emotionally involved that we are unable to see ourselves objectively. Clearly we never see ourselves in action!
That’s why it’s helpful to know a little more about ourselves and our reactions when conflict strikes. Because strike it will!
Here are a few questions and suggestions about arguing Read the rest of this entry »
