Bes’ Fing Inna Wurld

Here is the happiest thing there is: a blue-tailed lizard.

When I went to the therapist, back in 2001, and she told me to pay attention to the little things that gave me joy, the first thing I saw when I left her office was a blue-tailed lizard.

I don’t know why these little guys delight me so, but they do. They turn up on our back porch or front bricks now and again. They always lift my heart. I got a picture of this one, and I wanted to share him with you.
