Soft, snuffles and snores next to me. The birthday boy sleeps.

Tux has nestled into the space in front of me. His purring is low and soothing.

A fan blows on us but we are protected by the downy loveliness of our comforter.

A whirl-wind took us through this day. I was reminded of how blessed I am. How loved I am. How much I love my family.

Thank you, God.

Now to dream of all that has been and what is yet to come.
