I was so honored to play in the otter pond with three of the most special otters in my life. When it comes to personality profiles, I have been branded the otter for sure.....I love to play.......get much distracted....way too easily..........and I have to say...that I have NO beaver personality anywhere in my make up. As the four of us set out for our day of "adventure" there were no beavers about! (we all left ours home)! HAHAHA
As we chatted between ourselves.....laughed at missed turns......smiled about potty breaks.......jumping from one conversation to the other as true otters do.......our day of adventure began at 6.30 AM....yes, early for an otter. As we drove to the other coast for sadly enough to honor granpa otter (and Aunt Jean) we all sat on the front row of this little funeral home.......listening to the things that others had to say about this wonderful woman, I could not help but notice that there in the silence that the otter can not sit still for too long. One otter to my right was yawning and moving his feet, the beautiful otter to my immediate right was moving her hands, and swinging her leg.......me......was moving my feet and shifting back and forth...and the mighty otter to my left....too was moving his hands over his bible. Seemed to be funny to me...that when a personality profiles an animal....this was the truest discription and most accurate. As we left the East Coast......we chattered once again, ate snacks.......and stopped for lunch.
At lunch in a cozy little booth for 4 we shared salad.........company, soup, stories and made more memories (as granpa would say). It truely was an awesome day....and how much the four of us are soooooo much alike. It was decided that was goes down in an otter cave.......certainly stays in an otter cave! It was a great day.......and once we got back home, I was driving ALONE (which everyone knows otters don't like to be alone) back home......I snickered and laughed at the adventurous day that I had with my fellow otter family. Gave me another appreciation on the otter at play.......just looking for the beaver now and then to just wreck all his tedeous, focused, detailed work! Take time to play........all work and no play is not good for anyone.
Thank you to my fellow otters to invite me to come along on your outing. I had a great day!!!! Walked away with many new memories and laughs. Bloggers and readers and fellow otters out there....if you are blessed to be married to the beaver......take advise from your fellow otter.....take time to have an otter date.......you will be surprised on how much fun you will have! UNTIL next time.......
