"And what might that be?" you ask "What could a pair of fuzzy modified ruminants possibly be onto that is so big?". Easy, I'd tell you. The secret of life. Although it sounds silly, the more I think about it, the clearer it is. Everytime I look out the window at the two of them, Bodie and Superman are as happy as can be. So now you might be wondering. What is the secret to life? It's simple, just like a Llama's day: Take lots of naps, Surround yourself with really good friends, Go for plenty of long walks, Take things slowly, but never be afraid to go for it when the moment is right for a run, Always keep someone around who knows how to scratch your back, You can never have enough tender green leaves and when you feel insulted, put your head up a little higher. These lessons from the Llamas just hit me after a nice relaxing afternoon of Llama time. Waking them up for a nice slow walk in the afternoon sunlight, running a couple of times when it just felt right, returning home to scratch their backs (brush them-they love it!) and just standing with them while they enjoyed the twenty-four-hour salad bar that is my front yard. 
A really simple afternoon, but one that meant a lot. This afternoon with the Llamas helped me to realize that to be happy, you need to slow down and appreciate the little things every now and then. The Llamas also taught me to lead by example. How many times have I been told by the media and the people around me to take the time to slow down and relax? Countless times! But it wasn't until I was able to see the Llamas appreciating their simple, lazy Llama day, that I could really appreciate the power of slowing down every now and then. Above all, the Llamas have taught me to keep an open mind, because the most powerful lessons, can come from the most unexpected places...like the pretty face on the end of the lead.
