Great Day

Today is a great day for Nick and me.

First of all, we have been together for five years now. Our anniversary was a few days ago, but I'm writing about it now.

Nick and I had a rocky start, but we have been loyal to one another through it all.

Today is an especially wonderful day because we finally got out on a walk together. For the past two weeks or so I have struggled with unhealthy air quality and high levels of grass pollen. Today air quality was in the good range and the pollen counts were low for grass, tree and ragweed. So off we went for our usual daily walk.

I had no difficulty breathing and could keep up with Nick's pace which was neither slow nor fast. Nick behaved well, at least for Nick on a walk, and that was great, too.
