The expression “It’s a dog’s life” means that life is hard; unpleasant; unrewarding, and apparently has 16th century origins when dog’s were working animals and treated as such.

Food for Thought!
This Category is where you will find Posts which, I hope, you will find interesting … because they will reflect our lives; our world, and our place in it!

I never did it in 2016 either! Continue reading
Adjusting to Winter!
Winter here in Canada is much like life in general! You can choose to fight it, or can choose to embrace it. You can choose to love the diversity of the seasons, or you can choose to live somewhere else. It’s all choices! Continue reading
A New Direction Perhaps?
