My dog Colin thinks I’m great.
He thinks I can do anything.
He has faith in me.
Faith.
The photograph that goes with this short story shows this (https://www.50odd.co.uk/faith/).
You see, Colin is confident that I can pick up this MASSIVE stick and throw it for him.
Over and over.
For hours.
He has such faith that he just followed me around with it.
Willing me to take it from him.
And launch it so that he could gallop after it.
Tongue lolling.
Tail wagging.
Colin.
I just wanted to mention that – it’s nice to have ‘Colins’ around you.
People that think you can do anything.
It’s good for you!
They cheer you on.
And make you do that bit more.
And probably achieve that bit more, too.
Because you push yourself.
Because you don’t want to let them down.
Positivity… It’s powerful!
(I did actually have a go at throwing the stick.
It didn’t go far.
But Colin was happy.
And I was happy.
Happy that I’d given it a go.
Happy that, actually, it was impossible to fail.
Because we had fun trying).
