Just now, through the open windows, I heard a father encouraging his child to daycare. 
It began in the distance, like hup hup hup...then as they got closer I heard the father speak words of encouragement You could hear the smile in his voice
He made it a game, getting to kindergarten or daycare. He made his child happy while still getting them thereon time.
I heard the tritty-trot of big and little feet.
It was the Doppler effect...going past my windows.
I didn't get up from my chair to look. It wasn't necessary.
Cause that dad and that laughing child had made me happy.
Happy as I looked out into the spring sun and sipped my coffee.
And that IS a good thing.
Have a nice day all.
