Remember the Simple Things

2010 June 8

It’s 3:43am and I’m still awake. I’m sick, sore throat, running a fever, green snot, the whole kit and caboodle. This isn’t the greatest week to get sick. We are launching a phase two build of USAEnergyGuide.com (but it might as well be an entirely new site) later tomorrow, my parents are arriving on Thursday, Ignite Phoenix 7 on Friday and then I’m off to Southern California for FashionCampLA on Saturday.

And, then I look over and see this.

McDoogle asleep on his bed. Not a care in the world. Just dreams of kibble and treats, scratchies and play time. He reminds not to worry to much about my current worldly troubles and remember the simple things that make you smile and laugh. Looking over and seeing him is one of those simple things. I need to remember to enjoy the simple things more often.
