The Simple Pleasures

Thank God spring weather is finally here! I've felt so guilty lately - keeping the baby and my pugs indoors. But today we all went outside (me, Autumn (my baby), and my two pugs) to play. The weather was cool, crisp, and pleasant. Autumn watched as the pugs did their thing (potty) and laughed the whole time. Every time I hear her laugh, my heart fills with joy, and an instant smile is brought to my face. When the pugs finished their business, I got them in the playing mood. The four of us were running around the yard, as Autumn shrieked with glee. The pugs released all of the energy, and once they were tired out came the pig snort panting they're famous for. I just felt exhilarated being outdoors in my own backyard with my three children. It's these times in life that I am most grateful for. The simple things. My daughter's laugh. My pugs' snorts. Playing outdoors in the spring. Thank you God for these simple pleasures.
