Relentless Barking Dogs

People are generally either dog people or cat people.  I'm definitely a cat person.... maybe I connect with their independence.... maybe I long to nap more often.

As I'm sitting at my home office (with the windows closed by the way), I can distinctly hear the neighbors dogs making a massive racket.  This stirs memories of last summer and fall when these same dogs would bark like crazy at the pre-crack of dawn, at lunch, at 11 pm.  There are just no boundaries to when these dogs make noise.  Their owner occasionally hollers at them to pipe down.... 

......yet they continue.  Relentlessly.

Then it dawned me.  Shouldn't we be as relentless as these dogs in making noise about what we believe in?  Right now 2/3rds of our country is overweight or obese.  Not just a few pounds to lose, but ten's to hundreds of pounds overweight.  Wouldn't it be easier to just worry about ourselves as the rest of our friends and family (possibly) get bigger and bigger?  

But what if we made a little more noise?  Cared a little more?  Offered a little more support and encouragement to them?  

Let this be your call to action.... make some noise about what you believe in today.   Be relentless about your passion, whatever it is.  Be caring and joyful about taking care of yourself; even more, show the people you love how to create that joy for themselves too.  Bark louder.
