Completely Serene

I opened the door to my house let out Abby, my yellow Labrador and one of my favorite creatures in the whole world and walked down through behind her. It was a peaceful late spring day right after a long day of school, the sun was shining, but it wasn’t suffering the atmosphere with heat, it was just shining. There was a cool, light, gentle breeze coming from the south and it made the perfect temperature, the perfect spring day, my favorite kind of day. 
I stopped on the steps and looked at Abby sitting in the lawn with her eyes closed, peacefully breathing in the spring air and enjoying the breeze. I began to walk behind the house towards the backyard as Abby followed me wagging her tail. I got to the backyard and stood still and Abby sat next to me as we looked over the valley, the view of fields, scattered houses, blue sky, trees, and animals. I could hear the creek running down below and Frosty, our horse, eating the grass and ruffling his tail. No thoughts, worries, no loud noise or disturbances, just the breeze brushing my face. A perfect definition and example of the country; it was simply priceless. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath of the fresh country air; I’m sure Abby did too. I opened them and we both rested patiently soaking in everything, the view, God’s creation completely serene. 
I thanked him for not putting me anywhere else but right here. It felt as if we were one with heaven and earth and that nothing could disrupt our presence. It felt as if I was truly living and that is why it has become my takeaway moment.
