I Can't Ask For Better Than That

I just sat down from helping my neighborhood kids build their first snowman. There’s talk of forts and snowball fights later in the afternoon. The bush in front of my window is loaded with birds.(It could have something to do with the feed I just gave them). My boxer puppy is draped over my knee, her nose occasionally twitching. Everyone important to me is safe, fed, and warm. I am content. I am grateful. I can’t ask for better than that.
