Innocence Is Bliss

Children, people with special needs and animals are my favourite. They are true and pure and innocent and their ulterior motives, if they have any at all, are as transparent as hell. I honestly believe that they were given to the world so that the rest of us losers can be reminded of what true  purity is. I fully see this when I look at our dog. She makes me laugh every day, gets in the middle of a contention between me and my husband to calm us down, licks us when we're sad, waits for me outside of the bathroom door (even if I haven't seen her for five minutes) and my husband and I find her incredible gentle and kind nature (even though she is ONLY a dog) as one of the most powerful daily injections of  inspiration. So I guess this has turned into a post of gratitude towards innocence, it's purity and well towards our dog;  Thanks Ellie.
