Routine

Every morning we go through the same routine.

And it makes my heart smile.

As soon as the sun is up

this girl

(not me, our dog in the photo)

loves to go outside

She always walks to the edge of the deck

and wags her tail

as she visually takes in the yard

She scans the property

tail wagging the entire time.

This makes my heart happy.

To see

her happiness

to just be outside.

When she's done

skipping her paws through the grass

She mosey's on up

onto the chair

and has a little

awkward looking nap

(as seen in photo)

I'm truly amazed

by the joy

that she brings us

These simple moments

always bring gratitude to my heart

and a smile

to my face
