Luke Supports Self-Reflection

All of us need to take the time occasionally to engage in a little bit of self-reflection.  We should find a quiet couch upon which to lay a couple of times each week and ask ourselves several questions.  "Who am I?", "Do I like who I am?", "Am I making the impact on those around me that I want to make?", "Am I making an effort to limit the amount of times each day that I slime the toilet seat?", "Have I tried to retrace my muddy footprints every time I come in the back door or do I make a new trail with each entry?", "Does it seem today that My People would rather me be here or elsewhere?", "Did I leave teeth marks on JW's arm as I dragged him around the backyard today?", "Were there less than ten references to me today as 'a vile and wretched creature'?"  These types of questions are worth reflection and, while painful to answer sometimes, undoubtedly make one better in the end.

Last night I spent some time in self-reflection after a somewhat traumatic experience I had yesterday involving several wonderfully aromatic, partially-cooked turkey burgers, a hot but enticingly odoriferous grill, and an expertly wielded, metal spatula.  As an aside, I personally verified the wisdom contained in the adage that I so often hear My People tell others, "No Pain, No Gain."  Sure, I could have taken the easy road to the dog food bowl and could have filled my stomach with highly nutritious, perfectly formulated, large-breed dog food which helps me maintain my svelte, somewhat alluring (if I do say so myself), and highly toned (although hidden by my exquisite coat) physique.  Instead, I took the "road less traveled" and doing so "made all the difference".  My actions led me to exceed the recommended protein intake level for the day for Luke-like friends, to provide My People with much needed pet-owner quality interaction time, and to protect My People from dangerous germs resident in less-than-fully cooked poultry products.

Yes, having spent the requisite time in reflection I can say with confidence strengthened by experience that I am who I want to be.  I am the protector-general of my people, friend to my housemate Peanut, and connoisseur of specialty meat products.

I am not "vile and wretched".  I am definitely not a "creature".  I am Luke and I Support Self-Reflection.
