I’m not rich. At least not in the monetary sense. But on this, the first day of spring, I sat out back with my kid and my dog and my camera and the birds and the reggae and a picnic and a few mud pies and dammit if I wasn’t as happy as I’ve ever been in my life.

I’m not bragging. Just really, really thankful because I know how temporary things are and how little control we actually possess in the grand scheme of life. I may not be as filled up tomorrow so I’m just taking a sec to go deep into the goodness that is right this moment.
