a new buddy on the way

The daylight felt soft across my shoulders. For a moment, I stood straight and still on the white ledge, looking out at the swaying green trees. Then, a tiny flutter stirred inside my chest—my hand moved! Curious and careful, I lifted my right arm forward, reaching out until my fingertips met the cool surface of the window glass. A gentle *tap* echoed back to me. It is so good to be able to move and take care of what is around me. Standing right here, I am ready whenever a friendly hand is needed.
