While on a trip to Jackson Hole, WY, one beautiful spring day I enviously had the pleasure of observing river otters in a stream joyfully playing and interacting. What a treat! They always bring a smile to my face, make me happy, and remind me how life should be lived. To me, no other animal seems to display such a playful approach and zest for life as do these special animals. While we seemingly take life too seriously many days, the river otter shows us just how playful and thrilling a day can be and simply how to love and live life.
