Spare Rib

 


Yesterday, I spent my time wisely. I gathered together an eclectic mix of music to motivate me on the morning drives I take with my faithful canine companion as we head to our favorite Park. 70s rock, 80s power ballads, 90s bubble gum and even some orchestral numbers and a hint of gospel and country. I loaded up my USB drive and blared the songs from my Jeep as I drove off into the sunrise, My dog sitting next to me, excited to be beginning our adventure. The air was light and the birds sang in harmony, bringing a certain peace to the atmosphere.

Once there we parked and began our journey on foot. As we made our way through the picturesque landscape, I was taken aback by the sheer beauty of the world around me. But then, suddenly, we were jolted out of our zen-like state when he stumbled upon a half-eaten spare rib, carelessly tossed aside by one of the campers. I reached into his mouth and pried it from his teeth – but, alas, not before he had taken a hearty bite of it! I was relieved that the scare seemed to be all for naught, and we continued on in our relentless pursuit for an unforgettable morning.

It was not all smooth sailing. There were those who tried to dampen my spirit by Prohibition-level glares and snide remarks: evidently, these shady characters had mistaken me for some sort of law enforcement officer. That was fine with me – I had my trusty sidekick in tow.

But still, all in all, it was a beautiful morning, and I could feel the power of the positive energy emanating from my music and from nature. As I returned home, my cup brimming with this positive caffeinated energy, I’m ready to see what the rest of the day holds. out
