My dog has a collection of pinecones. She started collecting them as puppy. They are not allowed in the house, so my smart girl either leaves them next to the door or takes them to the patio where she has a bucket for all her pinecones. We are blessed with many pine trees around us and with every walk we take she finds additions to her collection. She is so happy and excited to find new ones and every time I see her I get a little jealous as I too strive to find such happiness from the simple things.
My goal in life is to find joy in the little thing, so I am following her lead (pun intended), learning how to find joy from simple things , seeing her when she finds a pinecone, seeing a butterfly passing by, my basil plants sprouting and even smiling when the pesky neighborhood squirrel eats my vegetables.
