Animals are such agreeable friends they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms. --George Eliot

A pet is often liked by everyone and seems to have no enemies. Why is this? Pets are friendly and interested in others. They seem to get joy out of just being with us. They do not have a critical attitude. When mistreated or neglected for a while, they are quick to forgive and quickly seek once again to be by our side. Each of us is a valuable part of the family. When we treasure one another and don't waste our time finding each other's faults, we will begin to have fewer faults. When we accept our loved ones as they are and enjoy sharing our lives with them, our lives become more enjoyable, and our family love grows because we are each more lovable.

What can I accept in others today?

Animals have great lessons to teach us if we are open to learning.  Today I saw a black squirrel.  The squirrel means gathering, gathering what you need to make your space the best space it can be.  Stock up when you can, sometimes things are short in supply.
