A Little Love and A Whole Lot of Tips

Since I didn’t party like a party animal on my Birthday on Monday (in bed with migraine), I thought I had better make up for all my losses. So this past Tuesday I went to a party, a cyber-party to celebrate 4 Successful Blogs’ first Blogday. They are:

• Liz’s of Successful Blog
• Cat of Designer-Who-Blog
• Joe of WorkingAtHomeInternet
• Hart of Hart-Empire

We congregated at Liz’s place. Our presents to her, at her request, is to bring one of our successful posts. There are a total of 47 outstanding posts listed here and here. Did a lot of reading, and I manage to compile those I think relate more to this blog’s needs and a couple personal favorites.

Let the reading begin…

If you think you have more life lessons to give to your kids than he or she could give to you, you’re dead wrong? I don’t have kids of my own, but I’d taught hundreds of kids for 13 years. So when I read Tony’s post, 3 Valuable Lessons From 1st Grade Career Day, I definitely dig it. Likewise for pet parents and their dogs. If only we could see through the eyes of our dogs, wouldn’t we become better listeners?

Wanna know why your dog won’t listen to you? If my constant nagging, be a KISSER (Keep It Short and Simple with Easy Repetition) during training, hasn’t registered in; then maybe Ellen’s You’d Have To Be Brain Dead to Listen Up will get you to listen up.

Sometimes in life, we don’t need to be genius to know what works and what’s not. All we need to do is to dare to try. If failed, then try again. I love how Ann recaptures an incident happened in her teens when her dad put a hole in the wall to get what he wanted – bay window. An excellent short post. Maybe I should write a post on ”Are you willing to retrain yourself to train your dog the right way?”

I can’t stress enough the effectiveness of positive dog training, however positive thinking is a totally different story. Read what Chris’ Negetive Thinking Power has to say that keep you from succeeding.

Are you having problem with identity crisis (ie. You’re not Fido’s Top Dog?), then you should read Steve’s Who Do You Think You Are. Oh by the way, does your dog think he’s a Afghan Hound when he’s only a Lhasa Apso? That’s the problem with many small dogs – small in size, big in attitude.

Okay, take a breather or better yet let’s make a snack. Head to Sean’s Toasted Cheese Sandwich. This is something I can see myself making for my dogs and I. The only difference I’d make for my dogs is go easy on the mayonnaise. Personally, I’d use the Japanese mayonnaise – light and delicious. Yum! Yum!

One thing about our health, the way I see it, it’s not that different to our dogs – Heart Disease. Hsien wrote an excellent post on The Purpose of a Hearty Life. Certainly deserves a closer look on our health, good read for all dog owners who wants to lead a healthy lifestyle together with their dogs. Didn’t I tell you many times that the daily doggie walk isn’t just about his pooping?

Speaking of multitasking, I definitely can relate to Char on her post The Queen of Multitasking. I do, sometimes, feel inadequate when I have only one task at hand. However, when I put in overdrive by juggling 6 or more tasks, I’m at the risk of losing my mind.

Here’s a nice laugh on writing, Carolyn’s If You’re Gonna Write Crap, Journal. While I don’t consider myself a prolific writer, but I do my best to deliver quality content for all my readers. So in any case I fall short on this area, please do execute excuse me.

I don’t know what not to like about Rick. His blog is one of those I read on a regular basis. And on this post, Your Life, Your Greatest Work of Art, the last paragraph is simply profound! Plus he’s a great poet!

I confess, I’m a poem sucker. And if I stumbled upon good ones like Battles Hymn of the Blogger by Mike, I can’t help but share.

Not only his poem rhymes,
it surely describes how I feel at times.

Though I don’t pen well as ONE wants me to be,
But I never cease to better myself as I’m born to be.

Now you know how I feel between posts,
won’t you be nice to read all my posts.

If that isn’t too much to ask,
do get all your friends to come visit us.
