2155. what’s this?!!
2154. little raccoon
Raccoon! A little raccoon heading my way, walking toward me one step at a time…step, pause…step, pause…a little too slowly, too carefully, his right foot not touching the ground, held high, as though in pain. “Where did you come from, little one?” All alone, was he sad, did he need comfort? I wanted to hold him but I didn’t. I simply stayed awhile watching, holding him in my thoughts and hopes that he be graced by heaven’s tender arms.
2153. true happiness
One of my teeth needed to go. Waiting 15 minutes for the lidocaine to take effect and numb my gums, all I could do was sit there and stare at the surgeon’s tools. Then I remembered this: “The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.” Somehow, I wasn’t quite feeling it that day.😘
