Going to bed early is a luxury I rarely get to enjoy. It was quiet in the house. And since it is getting towards the end of summer I appreciated the fact that it was darker than normal. With the dog lying on the floor at the foot of the bed I felt good. I had a sense of contentment as I drifted off to sleep pondering what my next life adventure would be.
