What a Beautiful Life

Here I sit. With this view in front of me. Buddy to my right and Sammy to my left. Somewhere in the picture, is my husband, quietly fishing. Cat Stephens is in my background, along with the chirping of birds at sunset and the breathing of our tired dogs. Tired from a day of swimming, exploring, playing, living.

Tomorrow is our one year anniversary and I say this with utter confidence: this is one of the most peaceful and complete moments I have ever felt. If only I could capture the serenity and simplicity of the very minute and save it for later...
