Namaste and welcome.

I was talking with a friend this week, actually a number of people about schools, you know,

opening, not opening.

And one friend was telling me how she was dealing with it.

And it reminded me of a favorite old story that I'll share with you, which is a woman

describes how a tired old dog wandered into her yard and she could tell there was no tags

with the collar and well fed Billy that the dog had a home.

But he followed her into her house and he followed her down the hall and fell asleep on her

couch.

And her dogs didn't line and she felt like, okay, it seems like a nice dog.

So she was okay with that and let him nap.

After an hour, the dog went to the door, she let him out.

And the next day he was back again and he resumed the exact same position on the couch and

slept for exactly an hour.

So this continued for several weeks and the woman got curious.

So she pinned a note to the dog's collar and she wrote on the note that every afternoon

your dog comes to my house for a nap and I don't mind, but I want to make sure it's okay

with you.

Well, the next day she got a note on the collar.

It was returned to her.
