Getting this Far

Having been recently reminded that an occasional positive comment might be an interesting experiment, I started to jot down a few of the things I like. After the first three or four it got to be kinda fun. I wouldn't go as far as to say that the cynic has been rejuvenated, but it was worth the effort. Thank you for the inspiration.

I like the stillness of a pre-dawn summer morning.
I like the way deer look at me when they first notice.
