No picture this time. No photo. Just a story that doesn't belong to me.
It's Sunday morning, patchy blue sky, and the yard and woods around the house have that scruffy look that spring sometimes wears, when the trees are still mostly bare, patches of green grass alternate with brown, and you have to step close to the bushes to see the buds and tiny leaves. A typical morning in early April.
Around seven, I'd finished reading a novel for review, Nicholas Sparks's Every Breath. I've only read one, maybe two, of his books, and picked this one up because he writes, as he often does, about the North Carolina coast, and I wanted to go to the beach. It's been a while since I stood and watched the ocean or walked the sand, and likely it will be a while longer, so I let the book take me there. It did, and I was happy about that. The story was good and had an impact, so I was happy about that too.
After putting the book down, I came online to my usual sites, where the news is often grim. Politics, war, the economy, the usual chatter about the awful state of our culture and country.
And then I found this.
If you're looking for a boost, if you're looking for something to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step, take a look. I'd highly recommend watching the short news video too. You'll find it below.
Here's hoping you're all well this Sunday, April 7th.
