    I've been working on introducing my puppy to the sport of dock diving. It took a few sessions of gentle coaxing but now she's so confident and enthusiastic about leaping into the water. She also just graduated puppy school so soon we're advancing to CGC class and then agility and rally basics. Her training still has a long way to go but I'm really happy with where she's at.

    It indexes only simple html, non-commercial sites, so everything in it feels like the 'old internet'. I have been enjoying just hitting the "surprise me" button and just seeing what comes up.

    Peace of Mind: Becoming Fully Present by zen teacher Thich Nhat Han. After his death, I saw people writing moving posts about how important his writing was to them and how much his books had changed their lives for the better; so I impulse bought this one. I'm not spiritual or religious, but I do believe in the benefits of meditation. I'd never really been able to meditate before and thought I just didn't have the focus for it. This book explains things clearly and simply and it finally just clicked for me - mindfulness and meditation make sense and are possible for me now in a way they weren't before.

    I keep the book in my car so if I'm having a bad day it's close by and I can flip through it for guidance on calming my mind.
