Day 946

This girl loves to bark! Whenever she goes out the doggy door, she hits the ground barking! Sometimes there is something to bark at, but other times there is nothing at all! She does not discriminate! She simply loves to bark!

There are people in this world who love to “bark” as well. Like Lilly, some bark for a purpose and others simply for the joy of the bark! I have had the privilege of learning at the feet of some of these individuals who are driven to proclaim their wisdom or educated opinions. They help guide my world and I am grateful.

I know other people who expound at length, but when they stop to draw a breath, it seems they were really only sharing due to the need to be noticed. My heart goes out to them.

However, there is a third group who is afraid to bark at all. For whatever reason, these individuals remain quiet, guarding their thoughts, opinions and knowledge. Perhaps they are too shy or never felt safe to share. That is as loss to those of us with ears to listen and learn!

For the Lillys of the world (most of us) who sometimes have important messages, keep honing in on what is truly importance when barking loudly!

Those who bark with no real message to share should probably learn to “read the room” and share the podium more often!

For the who tend to keep their thoughts to themselves, please learn to share…we want to hear what you have to say! Chances are, it’s worth listening to!
