I've always said someday I'm going to mimic my cat's day: Stare out the window, nap, eat a bit of crunchy food, nap, bat a toy around, nap, drink a little water, nap, meow (just because), nap, stare out a different window, nap, cuddle with my human, nap, eat soft food, nap. :-) A lesson in tranquillity.Jill Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065585795334656559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-78669140588673718042011-10-21T13:03:41.682-04:002011-10-21T13:03:41.682-04:00I cannot begin to tell you how THRILLED I was to s...I cannot begin to tell you how THRILLED I was to see Deb featured on your blog!<br /><br />Deb and I met a number of months ago on Twitter, where I was both smitten and intrigued by her photos on her website.<br /><br />We have since discovered we are, in many ways, kindred spirits. Both experienced job loss late in life, both share a love of cats and even the same astrological sign.<br /><br />We have become the closest of friends and I am blessed to have met her and have her as a part of her life.<br /><br />I, too was one of the lucky few who was given a copy of this book to review...as Ingrid (whom I also adore) said above, the book is "wonderful" "wonderful" doesn't even BEGIN to describe it! <br /><br />We wish Deb nothing but the best!Cat and DOG Chat With Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02666719374831725417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-44225528574431667262011-10-21T11:51:17.151-04:002011-10-21T11:51:17.151-04:00Deborah, it's a hard lesson for humans to gras...Deborah, it's a hard lesson for humans to grasp at times. Live in the moment, find contentment in the simple things. <br /><br />We're groomed from an early age to have plans for our future. Sometime we get lost in the *future* and forget to really live today. Enjoy today.<br /><br />Good job on finding and living the lesson!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.siamckye.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye's Thoughts...OVER COFFEE</a>~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-60644383864980474972011-10-21T11:25:23.500-04:002011-10-21T11:25:23.500-04:00What a lovely story and beautiful pictures.
