One of the problems I have is resisting temptation. Well…duh! I don’t think I would be writing this right now if I was extremely disciplined.  Okay…it is not resisting temptation as much as when I give into temptation not to throw all my hard work out the window because of one little off track jaunt. It is like getting thrown off a horse. You can get right back on or just say “Okay…I guess I won’t be doing THAT again!”  The other day another dog at the dog park got a little rough with my dog. I was just getting ready to leave after being there an hour or so. But…I didn’t want to leave on a bad note so I stayed another half hour until Otis started to leave my legs and play with the other dogs again. He got back on track. Now…teacher..heal thyself. I am going to admit to you that I have gotten off track. No…no one got me off but me. Well…okay…I could come up with some legitimate sounding excuses but bottom line…they would be excuses.  I am struggling to get back on track again.
