The sight of the golden retriever, Max, dashing across the fence line gave Emily a jolt. She’d spent the morning in a dreary meeting. Now, however, she felt different.

She practically flew out the back door, not bothering to grab her shoes. She felt light, agile. Her heart leaped with exhilaration.

She ran after Max, who was now joyfully prancing around her vegetable garden. She laughed, feeling the tension melt away. She moved with surprising speed.

The air smelled fresher, the birds seemed to sing louder. She felt as though she could run forever.
