"That dog!" Maria exclaimed, hearing the familiar yips and barks from the neighbor's yard. But instead of sighing, she laughed. A lightness filled her, an eagerness that surprised even herself. She'd been feeling…stuck, lately.

She had just finished writing a chapter of her new book, a story that poured from her soul. The inspiration lingered. Now, a new adventure. She charged out, ignoring the chores.

She felt a rush of adrenaline as she chased the playful poodle. The wind whipped through her hair, drying her sweat. The air tasted pure and crisp. Her limbs seemed energized.

She wasn't worried about the dog. She was too busy enjoying the feeling of being completely present.
