This

This: 

sleeping, snoring dogs - one of which just shifted and now has taken over my lap in his happycomfy state and releases the soft dog funk of impending bath time 

hot pink nails - a reminder of the bright, cheery, and almost unreal colors of Hawaii 

a rain shower - no longer the warm, soothing rains of summer -- traps the coolness of fall that took the day by force and adds to the soothing symphony around us

the joy of feeling the crisp breeze and the thunder of happy paws running toward me as i walked into the backyard to see my puppies after work 

the love in the routine of making dinner while he gets ready for work & savoring the short time we have together as we eat 

being able to share wisdom and be a resource - at the same time that it becomes clear to me that the wisdom actually is there

scrubbing the sink to dissolve the coffee rings dumped in morning haste - thankful for the day that's evolved since the hours that seem like a lifetime ago

and now the sleepy chunkamonk my legs are resting on (a compromise for us both) is twitching away in a puppy dream - and we are all happycomfy 

here
in this place
our home
our normal
life
and the moments big&small 
that make it.
