Sometimes life is a lot
on those days,
it is hard to be an optimist

Today was one of those days,
a Dr. appointment, tests,
and then a little drama thrown in

But then, a simple greeting from 
a young neighbor and his 
sweet smile, reach out and touch my heart

Going on my daily walk, I take the time to
appreciate the beautiful green trees and
colorful flowers 

I am greeted by several curious cats, 
and barked at by multiple dogs,
the cacaphony of life follows me home

Tonight, I am once again appreciating 
this wonderful world and the
life that I live
