Catching Morning Ribbons

I rolled out from the cozy table and trundled toward the kitchen counter. A tall, fluted glass of water stood right in the morning sun, casting bright rainbow ribbons across the clean tiles. Wobbling close, I pressed my squishy side right against the cool curve of the glass. Mm! The water gave a tiny, quiet shiver. As the light bent through the clear water, bright beams bounced right through my belly, scattering dancing golden speckles all over the countertop. I settled against the smooth glass, letting the warmth soak in.
