A Lucky Step

A pleasant warmth reached my toes, and I gave a gentle push against the cloth behind me. To my surprise, I actually moved! My raised arm held a firm thumbs-up, steady and light. Leaning forward, I pressed my foot into the center of a printed blue pattern on the fabric. The soft cotton dipped slightly under my weight, catching me perfectly. Everything felt just right on the very first try, so I happily settled back into the cozy fold.
