An epiphany?

So there I was, sitting out back with our 40 pound ball of fur you see to the left, when it hit me.

I am a very happy and lucky man.

Not that there was a time recently that I wasn't...just that I haven't really written about alot lately. I can honestly say I am the happiest I've ever been. I have a wonderful wife who is my best friend. She has a great kid that she's letting me help raise. We have a wonderful home that she's provided, that I hope I do my part to take care of. And I think we've got it just the way we like, with the deck, hardwood floors, new fence and all. And now we have a very happy dog.

Where did all that come from? Well, I was sitting out back with Zoe in her newly fenced in back yard when it hit me that she looks so very happy running free, instead of tied to a ten foot length of cable. It was then that I realized, we're all happy. She's on her way home from work right now, the munchkin is getting some new tunes upstairs after I spanked him......at chess. (If I'd realized how good he was, I wouldn't have played around so much. But I still prevailed.) Zoe is running loose, the kitty is sprawled out on the bed without a care in the world, and she's bringing home dinner for movie night. Rise the silver surfer starts in about a half hour so, to borrow something from the shaman, TTFN.
