I watched her for quite a while -- she was actually enjoying  splashing about and grooming herself, and was quite entertaining; a real bright spot in the day. Which leads me to this quote from John Kehoe's book, The Practice of Happiness:

"We need to remind ourselves that many pleasurable moments exist each day in our life. Understanding this, we make a decision to start noticing them. We take a few seconds here, a moment there, to stop and appreciate the small joys and beauty in our lives. And far from it being a chore, we find ourselves refreshed by this simple practice."

So,  when you look around what small joys are helping to refresh you today?
