5. Peer Pressure

The next day I was on my laptop at home, working against a deadline.  The dog curled up next to me on the couch.  She put her head on my leg, went to sleep. 

“You’re a bad influence,” I said to her as I scratched her ear. “I gotta finish this today.” A sunbeam hit the back of the couch.  Our cat stretched out behind me, warm against my neck.  He purred briefly before going to sleep.  Before I knew it, I was asleep as well.  Peer pressure can be subtle and pleasant.

Today I will beware of peer pressure in any form.
