A Big First Stretch
I blinked and felt a warm tingle shoot all the way down to my boots! My hands were tucked snugly behind my back, but with a happy little burst of energy, I brought them around to the front. I gave a buoyant stretch and tapped one toe against the cool, matte grey surface. Click! It made the most cheerful little sound. I can actually move, hop, and stand tall on my own two feet! Planting both soles firmly against the smooth floor, I took a deep breath, totally ready to brighten up this space.
