Thursday was a busy day and Roli got a bit less exercise than usual. On Friday, I woke up to below zero temperatures and decided to compensate Roli for his Thursday patience. Despite the brutal cold, I took him to the lake for a morning jaunt in the snow.

At one point, we went out onto the snow-covered ice and Roli started running around like crazy (“the zoomies”). He had so much joy that he couldn’t contain it. If he hadn’t already forgiven me for Thursday, this little adventure would have done it. Seeing his joy was well worth suffering a bit of a chill.

What small sacrifices do you make to create joy?
