This my friends, is a very happy dog!  I took the photo at about 6:30 this morning on a walk at a favorite spot.  Madeline is thrilled to be out and about, exploring the world of smells and sights and sounds.  Indeed...jumping for joy. 

Enthusiasm is catching, isn't it?  We find ourselves getting excited when someone else comes bursting onto the scene with excitement about a project or situation.  Something that looked fairly ordinary just moments before takes on a new sparkle.  Madeline's excitement always makes me smile.  So now I have this picture to remind me that life is good...that all the ordinary stuff is really miraculous!  REALLY!  IT IS!!!!!
