Tyson, a blind Boxer, has become quite the unusual sage. Once abandoned, lost and emaciated, Tyson has grown fat with love, easily finding his way into the hearts of so many. I am happy to share his story, hoping that you may glean some of the joy he exudes as well as the lessons his life can teach us all.

Life's an adventure, not a shame game.
I always take away something great from Tyson as he is quite the sensei! Yesterday, I learned it is okay to pack on some winter pounds. It doesn't make you less attractive, or less than you were when you were skinnier. It gives you warmth when the weather is cool. So, for all who bury themselves in their sweaters because of a few extra pounds when the temperatures drop, pick your head up. Your body is supposed to insulate itself. It's a reasonable and normal process of being an organic being. And just think how rewarding it is to watch it all shed and then to fit in those shorts or that bikini again. What would you have to look forward to if you were skinny all year round? It's not like most of us are jet setters able to vacation on tropical islands any given time of year and often throughout! Get over it, and enjoy the extra attention you give to yourself while working it off. Life's an adventure, not a shame game. --And Tyson...would you ever fault him for putting on a few pounds because it's cold outside? No? So, go easier on yourself, too.
