The crisp autumn air nipped at David’s cheeks as he walked to his mailbox, his dog, Gus, trotting happily beside him. He'd spent the morning hiking, the vibrant colors of the leaves a feast for the eyes, the crunch of them beneath his boots a symphony for the ears. The unsigned card, its cover a simple illustration of a sailboat, felt right in his hands. He smiled, feeling as light as the wind rustling through the trees. Life was good, truly good.
