While this is not from CAL, I think it aligns well with the spirit of Al Anon and MIP and taking care of ourselves.

 If a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:

• When loved ones come home, always run to greet them;

• Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride;

• Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure DELIGHT.

• Take naps;

• Stretch before rising;

• Run, romp, and play daily;

• Thrive on attention and let people touch you;

• Avoid biting when a simple growl will do;

• On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass;

• On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree;

• When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body;

• Delight in the simple joy of a long walk;

• Be loyal;

• Never pretend to be something you're not;

• If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it;

• When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently;
