A Moment of Quiet

This morning I woke up early and went to lay on the couch while hubby watched the news. Our pooch curled up beside me. His little body relaxed against me and shared it's warmth. The soft fur of his ear tickled my lips. He lay his little head on my arm and closed his eyes. Such total trust and devotion. We lay there for maybe four minutes before I had to get up and start my day.

Such a simple thing, this gift of love. Just his fur under my arm and steady breathing, the epitome of relaxation. I am privileged to have had that moment.
