...what will get you out of bed in the morning

My puppy, Little B (not to be confused with my pound puppy, Bubba, on the right):

just bolted after the plush felt covered neon colored frisbee I bought him when it was more than half his size, and I was soooo struck by the jolt of energy he exhibited.  I don't know how but I managed to trick him into sleeping in for an extra couple hours after he got up to go to the bathroom at 7, and if you could have seen him stretching out on the couch and lazily waking up 20 minutes ago you would have thought he'd straight up grown out of his puppy activity levels...but one toss of that frisbee and zip - he was back in the game.

And this happens every morning before I start work at 6am when I'm in LA.  After a quick walk and quick breakfast he's all systems go for zooming around my apartment, fetching whatever toys I fling across the room, chasing his tail like a wild animal.

It's so funny.  It's so inspiring.  I wonder if there's anything I can wake up and get excited about doing instantly the way he gets excited about playing. 

Made me think of that line from Fall In Love, the Arrupe Prayer.

Nothing is more practical than
finding God, than
falling in Love
in a quite absolute, final way.
What you are in love with,
what seizes your imagination, will affect everything.
It will decide
what will get you out of bed in the morning,
what you do with your evenings,
how you spend your weekends,
what you read, whom you know,
what breaks your heart,
and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.
Fall in Love, stay in love,
and it will decide everything.
