Balanced Vigilance

Whenever I take my dog out for a walk, she always manages to find something random on the ground and eats it.

This bothers me because I have no idea what it is she’s eating, and it can be toxic and hurt her for all I know. And it’s just nasty to do, lol.

There are times that I prevent it from happening, but there are a lot of times I can’t prevent it. I’ve grown to accept it and not put too much energy or emotion into it. We go about our walk, and nothing ever happens as a result of eating something off the ground.

Just like in life, finding balance between vigilance and acceptance allows us to navigate challenges while enjoying the journey.
