Wonderful Things

(a list)

• Watching my Pyrenees run, frolic, and splash wildly in the creek.
• Having said Pyrenees warm and dry and leaning on me as we drive down dirt roads.
• Driving down red dirt roads.
• Having just enough coffee left to make a pot.
• Watching a new coffee maker produce said coffee.
• Drinking that coffee from a new Fiestaware jumbo cup.
• Sitting in sunlight streaming through the window.
• Knowing that if I want to, I can go take a nap.
• Knowing that if I do go take a nap, four-hundred-and-eighty-seven cats and dogs will pile up in the bed to nap, too.
• Listening to the rumbling purr of a small, plump, striped cat.
• Having a vehicle that stops when the brakes are pressed.  (Mine currently does not do this.)
• Driving a big, brown, battered farm truck with enough pulling power to move a small moon.
• Hearing the quiet chiming of agate windchimes and thinking of Brazil.

I think I hear a nap calling me.  It's been peaceful today.  I hope yours has been as well.
