I was over at a friend’s place, laying on their couch, on the phone with my fiancee, who was sick with the cold I gave her, and she was out of town, and near tears with concerns over personal stuff.

She and I had just finished resolving her concerns when their freshly-turned-one daughter decided right then would be a good time to clamber up onto the couch, crawl onto my legs, and proceed to crawl up my body onto my chest.

Now nearly face-to-face, she grinned and let out a proud-of-herself “Huuurghh.”

The timing couldn’t have been better. My fiancee knows this sound well, and it was an instant ray of sunshine for her.

… and it made me smile. 🙂

The sun went down and the moon rose over the La Sal mountains…and it made me smile.

That, and The World’s Most Adorable Dog snores when he sleeps.🙂
