Bright Spot

This has been a less pleasant week than I originally thought it was going to be.  Today I went for a walk on my lunch hour to work off some stress and I saw a lady with her dog.  She was tossing a tennis ball deep into the tall weeds and the black lab would take off and search for it (and retrieve it.....'cause, um, it's a retriever?)  They both looked like they were having so much fun, it just cheered me right up, at least briefly.  So, thanks bunches, you dog people--I needed that.
