contentment grows like an oak tree
happiness is like blowing bubbles
joy settles-in like fog before sun rise
love is like and old dog at your feet

Daily short takes from an Appalachian hollow
A LITTLE SOMETHIN' 
contentment grows
sturdier
with each of many rings
marking the years
contentment rings…
what a warty looking tree.
yep, warty and gnarly and very old.
I’ve noticed that oak trees grow slowly
but remain rooted in the worst of storms …
and an old dog is a constant companion…
I like the things that you notice.
thanks, Val. Love to you.
