A Dog's Life

Today, while getting dressed I caught an expression on the dog's face that I swear said "Humans! why do they cover up the good stuff?" She then proceeded to clean herself in a very convenient (for her) manner. Not even going to go there.

But It did give me paws (pause-- sorry) to think of all the other things that dogs have it better.

Unlike people; a dog doesn't have to worry about daylight saving time. No spring back/fall ahead.

Twice a year the entire country works it's best to make sure I'm more confused and my time concepts are under attack again.

Dogs don't have that problem. Do they laugh at us because we insist on changing something like time? Changing time Hah! There is no time for a dog. It's all just NOW.

NOW it's time to eat. Drink NOW. Go out Now. Play NOW. NOW it's time to sleep.

A dog has a lot of NOW.

We get to get up one hour earlier or later. Too early, too late. We make entries into our day planners, Schedule appointments. Pencil ourselves in. We schedule our leisure and fun for later. We don't have a lot of now.

We have a lot of later. Not so much NOW.

Forgetting NOW we don't enjoy the life like a dog. NO pure thrill of now.

We have a lot of pasts too. Pasts keep us from now. We spend way too much time in the past. Hard to put things in perspective if you are spending too much time in the past and future -- but not in the now.

Personally, I've spent way too much time ruminating the past or future like a cow. It's time for a dog's life of NOW.

Surviving in an NT World - A Comprehensive Guide to Living with ADHD

As most of you should know, ADHD isn't really a deficit or a disorder like the proper name describes. I prefer to call it- Attention Diverse Hyperactivity Trait. That's a bit more positive, is it not?

Orage

For the past while I've been using an organiser program called Orage. It is very nice. Make sure you get the svn version, though, because the current version sucks.

It is a part of the XFCE suite meaning it is light weight and has few dependancies.

Very useful for us ADHDers!
