I just walked past my two dogs- very old dogs, aged 14 and 13. They were both just lying down, one in the house and the other outside, which they do most of the day now. This got me thinking.... When is is time to just lie down?
As human beings we are always pushing ourselves to keep going, to keep striving, and above all, to stay young- after all the new 60 is the new 50 is the new 40, right? My mom and I just had a conversation about this the other day. Her complaint? She just feels tired. And it makes her angry.
As I was looking at the dogs, I wondered just when is it OK to lie down? Not to quit living, mind you, but to just relax and smell the coffee, as they say. I'm not sure. What do you think?
