There are a number of people and, well, animals that have a wonderful ability to simply deal with life as it comes. It's amazing. No frustration, no irritation, no thoughts about how it should have been. This is not a trait that is associated with a certain spieces, or something. No, it is completely about character...

I walked through the dining room this morning, and saw Lilo lying on my coat. Now this is not normally a strange thing. However, the coat in question is a full length wool coat that I had draped over a chair, and the coat ended up spreading on the dining room table a foot or so. Lilo was snuggled into the coat on the table. I wanted to kick him off the table, but couldn't do it. I went about my business, and several hours later (must have been a good nap), I heard a noise that indicated something had fallen. I went into the dining room, and found that Lilo had fallen off the table, and knocked the chair over against the wall. The chair was leaning on two legs, and the coat was no longer draped over as much of the surface... it was certainly not on the table. Lilo looked at it without any concern. His only goal was rebuilding a comfortable place to lay. He managed to pull the long coat down the chair, and even though it was at a strange angle, he made a place to lay. No worries, no concerns. He was perfectly happy.

Some day, I'll be able to do the same...



Jealous...
