I’m content with my simple, everyday life…

I’m content with my simple, everyday life…
Partly because I receive so much affection…
It’s a feeling like being paw deep in tropical ferns…
Or being the apron of white on a white sand beach.

Ahhh, another day in my happy home…
Each morning brings a small smile of triumph…
Opening my eyes briefly to watch a new scene unfold…
Then rolling on my back for my butler’s famous belly rub.

This joy should be the same for everyone, but it’s not…

I think the reason is that most of this world’s unhappiness comes from a desire for what we don’t have…
Being too high on wanting and too low on giving…
Spending every hour, trying to scrub out all those bad memories…
It’s kind of like steering your tires into a bunch of old nails…
And then watching all the air hiss out of this beautiful day.

Sometimes in your eyes I see a sense of the “I can’t do that…”
No one ever benefits from this aura of doubt…
Stop, weaving the wrong world together…
There are more new world wonders than you can experience in a lifetime of play.

I always start each day with a different version…
Taking in all the music and the motion…
Letting nature churn up some brand-new business…
And then waiting for you to come out and play!

I love you,

Annie
