happiness in the world

A little bird chased a white butterfly but the butterfly dived into a bush and escaped

A little girl wearing a pink helmet with a crown attached to the front pedaled her bicycle rapidly and gleefully, laughing, racing away while her father on his bicycle tried to catch up, laughing too

Both of the churches nearby held services outdoors. This one had people attending in their cars while also streaming online. They had a singer and a band. The happiness was so intense some people were crying a little and even I, walking Samuel, felt a little like crying from empathy. I took pictures and got the email of the minister so I can share the pictures when I'm done processing them. 

If you were going to hold church services outside for the first time, this was the perfect weather for it

We have psychological needs and I'm hoping, with safe socializing, we can meet them. 

The toy! I believe I bought this whistle for Karen while I was in the Grand Canyon. The seven Huayruos are symbols of good luck in Peru and were a gift to me while I was there. Good luck and a good week.
