This minute, right now, life is perfect. I’ve been with people I love and am on the way to see people I love. I am in one of my absolute favorite places with the person I love most in the world. And my dogs. And Grayson. And nobody else. The temperature is lovely. John Hyatt is singing in the background, only slightly more present than the river serenade outside. I have time, blissful time, to do what I want and no need to do anything unless I want to.

Life is good. I am happy.
