Everyday Adventure

December 3 Moment.
Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors). (Prompt author: Ali Edwards)

While walking with L. and the Dogs.

When my dogs spot a chipmunk up ahead or we travel to a new place, they breathe heavier. They lunge forward, eager for the unknown, the new. A subtle reminder, at a time when I needed it.

Embrace curiosity and the wonders of the world.

The blue-white open sky, a fresh wind of fall,
a damp papering of yellowed leaves on the trail:
a new sense of adventure for the everyday.
