Dear Abby Rose,
Once again it’s spring and, as usual, you are enjoying it out in our yard, despite howling winds. I admire the way you relish the new smells of spring and refuse to miss the opportunity to see the return of birds, cats, and plum blossoms flying by.
I wish I had your patience with the wind and cold. You know it’s warming up, don’t you? You can feel the sun change course, while I snuggle in the (heated) house with Sunny? And soon you’ll be running through the sprinklers and sunning yourself dry, dreaming of camping and romping in dog parks.
I felt that way as a child. I yearned for the spring that brought summer—and freedom. If only I had your nature, your certainty, that one thing follows another as surely as we breathe in and out. You do not doubt. You only enjoy. And I love you for showing me that is possible.

Aw – what a sweet doggy. Beautiful painting of her and the bead mosaic really makes it!
Pretty painting. Does she like her portrait?
Why? Because she’s giving me the raspberry, LOL?
Beautiful! I’ve read somewhere that people who manage to live in the moment – those who “don’t doubt, just enjoy” – are the happiest.
Hi Vered, Thanks… “Oh to be a dog!” :•)
