Sometimes I don’t feel very happy, and the world seems dark and empty. Winter seems to cover everything in the same cloudy color, and I can’t see the sun.

Then someone comes along and reminds me I’m loved. In this case, it’s usually another person, since most of my family is allergic to cats, but I felt like it was appropriate. 🙂 With love and friendship, a little more of springtime and sunshine come into my world.

Sometimes I think we’re all watching and waiting…hoping it will be okay. Maybe feeling a bit under scrutiny ourselves.

But then we remember that there is still room for brightness, fun, and color in our lives, like a beagle stampede chasing a tennis ball. There is much joy in watching a dog run full speed with his tongue lolled out.
