Joy

It's nearly midnight. I should be heading to bed. Or finishing up homework that is due tomorrow.

But instead I'll try to put into words what I felt tonight watching my dogs run in the pasture (after the sheep where in the barn of course ;) )

Pure joy.

They ran, they rolled, they tore through the weeds. They came galloping to me with ridiculously happy looks on their faces when I called. They chased each other, then just ran around being dogs. They were so. darn. HAPPY.

 And so was I.

All the stress of working on a final just melted away. Life was just good.
