Sometimes – oftentimes – it’s the little things that reach out and grab you, even if they’re hiding on the bottom shelf of a busy toy aisle. He was just sitting there, not trying to bother anybody, facing a main aisle customers use to hop between store sections.

Blue! Happy blue! Really more of a shiny, smiley turquoise.
We didn’t have cute little suckers like this guy when we were little. The closest we got to hopping along, playing pretend on the Ultimate Toy that made all your friends jealous and your heart explode was this:
And maybe that (but probably not) is why I fell in love with Fizzy. Yep, I named him. Fizzy the little blue smiley, happy whale who made me smile big and stop traffic.
I love you Fizzy. And I am grateful for the burst of joy.
