My weighted blanket

Now that we are empty nesters, my kids think I love the dog more than I love them. Practically, he is the only one giving me gratitude at 5 a.m., so yes, I do love the dog right now.
My dog is a 17 lb. weighted blanket. Yours might be bigger, but get creative here. You might try to get a cat to sit on your lap. My dog is about the size of a housecat, so I think this applies.
Sit with that dog on your lap or at your feet and just breathe in the comfort of that weight. Breathe out the worries of your day and breathe in the little gifts in life. Especially with the stress that comes with the election, at least we can express gratitude that we have the freedom to vote. Whether the outcome is what you intended, continue with gratitude.

2 周Dogs truly have a magical way of providing comfort and warmth, much like a weighted blanket. There’s something so soothing about spending time with my dog—whether it’s a walk or just some quality petting time.
