The Simple Things

Working closely with animals, one learns a simple truth.  Sometimes all you need is shelter, food, and someone who loves you.  Often, all we do is provide these three things and the animals thrive and seem grateful. 

As humans, we struggle to remind ourselves of this whenever life gets too complicated or we wish too hard for something.  Happiness is a warm stable, a full trough of hay, and people who care for you.  Anything more than that is icing on the cake, and while delicious, not strictly neccessary.
