Philosophy According to Ollie

Is life confusing? Consult Ollie.

Are you uncertain, unsettled, anxious, antsy, tortured or tormented? Ask Ollie for direction.

Looking for wisdom, truth, wise counsel? Ollie's your guy.

I told him i'd be blogging today, and he offered to share his approach to keeping life simple, peaceful, and understandable.

Herewith, the wisdom of Ollie:

1. accept everyone.

2. never hold a grudge.

3. eat when you're hungry.

4. sleep when you're sleepy.

5. snuggle when you're lonesome.

6. be grateful for sunny days.

7. chase a yellow butterfly once in awhile, just for fun.

8. sniff a pretty flower and then sneeze real big. [this is good for your nasal passages.]

9. have a special spot for napping, preferably a cozy place where the afternoon sunlight falls on your feet

10. always make eye contact, except when someone's sneaking up on your food. in that case, give a little shrug and pretend you don't see them.

11. when a friend seems sad, lay your head on her lap and lie real still. if she strokes your belly, give her a little nudge. this lets her know she did a good thing.

12. be friendly to little children, but don't overdo it or you'll scare them away.

13. protect your friends and family from skunks, mice, and any evil invaders.

14. when the music is playing, dance.

15. when someone calls your name, tilt your head to the side, wiggle your bottom, smile real big, and do a little jig. this lets them know you love them. [sometimes they need to be reminded.]

These are the rules to have a good and happy life.

Your friend,

Ollie
