Ah, reminds me of when my youngest would toddle over and say, "Holdyoume?" Definitely a smiling moment.

Sweet ripe blackberries straight off the bushes in my neighborhood. They grow everywhere.
Cool air that unexpectedly comes out of the woods on a hot day. It feels like air conditioning.

Slacker on wheels.
My sweet puppy Heidi who is now mostly toothless being excited to see me at the vet.
My vet staff snickering on the voicemail because they didn't realize they would be telling someone "Tortilla" has an appointment.
Tortilla twitching her pretty much non-existent tail, manx cats are too fun.

When I run with the dog and we really connect, like we could do it forever. At that moment in time, I imagine we are both enjoying our most base desire to be free and light on our feet, connected on a level that's so fundamental to how both of us work. She always reminds me that sometimes the simplest way to think is to think simply.
