I have a magnet on my refrigerator that says "Let me be the kind of person my golden retriever thinks I am." It's a mass-produced little trinket, but I think the words are worth living by, and in retrospect I should have bought hundreds of those magnets and placed them all over my house as a constant reminder.
Indeed, lately I certainly have not been living up to the kind of person my golden retriever, Haley, thinks I am. I've been down on myself and not taking disappointment well at all. What's even worse is that I've been taking it out on some of the people I care about the most, almost to an ironically humorous extent in one case. To all affected, I apologize most sincerely and I hope that you will find it in your hearts to, once again, let me try to be the kind of person my golden retriever thinks I am to and for you.
