find the things you do like about her

I adopted a dog and still after many months I just wasn’t having the connection that I had hoped for. I did love her, but I didn’t like her very much, and I felt very conflicted and sad about it.  I had lamented my situation to a variety of people and they all said that returning her to the rescue might be the best thing to do. When I told Samara however, she had a different response – she said “find the things you do like about her”.  So I started to pay more attention to what I did like about her, and there were actually many things 🙂 So many things, I often found myself thinking how lucky I was to have her!  It really helped to focus on the positive rather than the negative. I’ve known Samara over a decade and that’s absolutely the light she brings to every situation <3.
