A Hearty Chuckle in the Sun

Well, look at that! One second I was just smiling blankly into the bright sunshine, and the next, I felt my chest expand with a genuine breath of fresh air. I gave a hearty chuckle just to see if my voice worked, and it rolled out warm and loud. Right beside me stood a bright yellow feathered bird mascot with wide, curious eyes. I reached over, nudging its soft yellow shoulder gently with my arm, feeling the fuzzy yellow plumage rustle beneath my touch. What a fine day to be up and about!
