Actually my problem is more seeing beyond the cat... (one problematic one left) not the dog... but here goes:
And I don't think another short quote by Joyce Sequichie Hifler will hurt her or her book, "A Cherokee Feast of Days" It is still available on the open market and in most bookstores. I use it almost daily and I'm sure this can be seen as a plug.
June 3rd: from "A Cherokee Feast of Days" a book of Meditations and Native American quotes by Joyce Sequichie Hifler, pg. 177

Big changes require many small ones. Any change seems sudden, regardless of how much we prepare for it. We wait for it, ask for it, expect it and resent its intrusion. Change is needed to stay young and vital and moving. Without it we stagnate and too often fall into melancholoy. Even in the best of times change takes a certain amount of adjustment. Our biggest problem with change is that we expect it to be bad rather than something that will make us happier. To a flea, the dog is the whole world, says a Cherokee. As much as we like where we are, it isn't the whole world. There are bigger things--and better. We have to be able to see beyond the dog.
