Today I met my husband at the door with our dog. Paws up…tongue out too bad I don’t have a tail. Acting like a dog made us both smile then laugh. He promptly asked me to sit down in front of my computer and showed me this video. Wait till the end…then you’ll understand why this story is linked.
What did I learn? Relationships are just a series of mutual experiences. Being yourself connects you with the potential of unlimited possibility. What possibilities exist just by being you? Something silly may bring a smile…being genuinely yourself could set a new course in a winning direction.
By connecting with our impulse voice to give a complement, share a smile, hold open a door…we may end up giving a gift to ourselves. Not only can we change someone’s day, to the positive, but we can potentially start a ripple in the tides of favor. What does that feel like? Who knows where that might lead. Little things make a difference. Be there, be you and participate in the world around you.
Possibly my husband wanted to show me this video as an expression of love in response to my silly gesture. What might happen in return for your daily gestures?

Thank you Tricia, and you Mark for sharing this beautiful video. I will stop crying soon I hope. Then I would like to share it with my family. They will be moved as I am.
Beautiful, sad story. Really puts life in perspective. I’m sharing with all my dog parent friends. Thank you.
This is my husband’s favorite place. We found out in December he has cancer. I like Denali’s idea that we should be insane with joy every time we walk in the door and see our loved one.
Tricia,
I ran across this blog today after searching for youtube videos, blogs, etc. about RV campers. I’m hooked on yours.
This Denali short clip was filmed by my step-son Ben Knight, quite an amazing film maker. Do you know Ben?
Anyway, my husband and I have been RV’ers for about 6 years now but have never taken a long trip, no more than about 6 hrs. from home. We hope to one that though! Thanks for all you guys do!
I”m not crying, you’re crying! Ugh, this is the best. And totally true! Love all of it, thanks for sharing.
This actually answered my drawback, thanks!
