The dog is quiet right now, so that means he’s other chilling out somewhere or eating another power cord. Hopefully, he can only do so much damage in five minutes.

I love this prompt, because I love encouraging others.

To take a little bit of an introspective turn, though, I think often about the fine line between being encouraging in a way that is relaxed and comes from a place of mutual enthusiasm, and being encouraging in a heavy-handed or needy way.
