While sitting at a stop light the other day I noticed a small nondescript sticker on the back window of the SUV in front of me. It said, “Wag more. Bark less.” I have not been able to get it out of my mind and like an esoteric kōan I am still pondering its meaning. For now I have distilled its meaning for me as ‘be present and be pleasant.’
Wag More:
Smile more.
Find things to be happy about.
Give thanks.
Practice random acts of kindness.
Bark Less:
Be less cranky, more patient; less judgmental, more accepting.
