“there is nothing wrong with loving the crap out of everything.
negative people find their walls.
so never apologize for your enthusiasm.
never.ever.ever.
-ryan adams
may you all live like this forever. and ever. and ever.
love, your teacher
(who lives like this too)
I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Dogs can teach us all so much about finding great joy in life’s smallest things.
Best wishes, Pete.

Don’t let someone else dictate what you should be joyful about.
Nor tell you how to express your joy.

Since we can’t become more dog like in joy, being more childlike with our joy is a good compromise. That exuberance is palpable. Love the photo.
