Spreading Joy

The traffic on Route 3 North this evening was slow enough that I could crack the window open enough for Jake to stick his head out. He stood up on the arm rest, leaned against the still-showing part of the window pane, his ears laid back against his head, his eyes squinty, and his nose going a mile a minute. It was obvious it provided him joy.

And tonight, the joy was contagious. I noticed three separate drivers pass by, look at Jake, and drive by with smiles. I smiled to see them smile, and perhaps that little spark of joy was carried forward in other ways.
