Ok dig, time to fess up..
where I lived before..I would take the dogs to a wildlife preserve(actually its a park with many walking trails, ponds, boardwalks and even areas people could grill and picnic if they choose, there are stables, a mansion and actually an early 1800's school house that was relocated..a covered bridge)..
after a few weeks I began to notice regulars there...I recall an older gentleman who walked his golden lab, a younger woman who would run with her german shepard and sometimes a younger man who came there with a white terrier.. with of course many other there who were interested in simply the outdoors and exercise..
one day, I noticed this young man(late 20's) with his dog sitting at a far end of a walking trail wearing sunglasses even though it was sort of a cloudy day, that I have noticed so many times before...his dog seemed a bit lethargic..I walked by and said hello and continued on my way...
a few days later I came back with the dogs and noticed him alone this time...sitting at bench without his dog...I thought about this for a moment and then wondered.. where is his dog...and then started to come back, but then I didnt...and then I thought..maybe I should go and say something to him...when I came back to the car in that same direction, he wasn't there.
I never saw him again.
I wish I would have said something to him that day..
but what I learned from that experience is simply..looking forward.. I will always say what is on my mind and regardless of how someone takes it....or perceives my intention..will not deter me from saying how I feel.
I assume you just do not understand my sense of humour, who I am or simply what I believe...(I know for a fact..now.. you have no idea my beliefs..)
just because I state what is on my mind.. that doesnt mean anything other than simply that..
