Little things that make you smile...

Cool air that unexpectedly comes out of the woods on a hot day. It feels like air conditioning.

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.

Imagining the feeling of crossing the finish line (or flashing back to it), no matter what part of day, where you are, or what you're doing.

A drink of water after a run or ride - even if I've been drinking the whole time.

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.

Ohhh that sounds so good

A cool shower after a long, hot ride.

amen to the cool shower and add an iced cappucinno for true bliss.

The feeling of being at one with the world and the day and the ride and the bike. Such a joyful ease of self confidence.

The sight of my very short legged corgie Sadie scooting down the stairs and sliding across the wood floor when she comes down from my weaving studio.

Jumping in the lake after a hot trail run!

Jumping in the lake after a hot trail run!

Or a mountain bike ride, my favorite trail is my favorite because it is on the lake!

Tortilla getting a clean bill of health at her annual check up. And she forgave me for putting her in the carrier once we got home (scratched me bad when I put her in).

Hearing mourning doves on my ride, reminds me of my Mammaw. We always slept in the same bed when I would visit her growing up. No A/C so I woke in the morning to the doves singing outside the back windows. That just made me think of her old crank out windows, I thought they were so cool.
