A Little Perspective...

I was devastated on Thursday when my son called me at work to inform me that the sweet little kitty that we rescued a few weeks ago had died.

The sweet little thing had stolen my heart and I miss her terribly. I look out to where we buried her, wrapped in a blanket along with a package of her favorite treats, and find myself weeping. It's a sad shape I'm in.

Today I got a message from a friend of mine. He was apologizing for not having been in touch with me sooner. His reason was that his father had passed away...

BANG! That knocked me into perspective REALLY fast!
Yes, I still miss my precious little Harley, but at least I still have my dad!

On Raising Children

When asked about things we want to do in our lifetimes, someone responded with this:
"Raise happy, confident, God and country loving children into productive members of society."


Sounds nice, huh?!
But this is most certainly NOT how I would wish to see my children raised.
I would prefer to raise my children to be intelligent and inquisitive, putting faith in FACT and REALITY, blindly following no one or nothing. I want them to not be sheep who scream "God bless America!" I would prefer to raise children who see themselves as citizens of the world rather than patriots of our nation. I would like to see them respect the beliefs of others without bending to them. I want my children to respect all creatures great and small. But most of all, I hope to raise children who measure their success in life not by how much money they make, but rather by how much joy they've brought to the hearts of others and (of course) themselves!

LoL Of The Day

Anyone who is oned by a cat (or two, or three, or more) knows how true this is!

Blogthing!

Haven't posted one of these for quite a while...

You Are a Red Pen

You have a flair for drama, and you tend to start trouble when things are too quiet. You feel extremely passionately, and you tend to think that each little problem is a crisis. You have no trouble speaking your mind, and it's an understatement to say your opinions are controversial. You've got something to say about everything and everyone - and you don't hold back!

What Color Pen Are You?

Blogthings: We're Not Shrinks, But We Play Them On the Internet

Silly Kitty!

This just made me giggle!

I Got A Harley!

Anyone who knows me knows that I've wanted a Harley since I was about 12 years old.
Well, I finally got one, but it's not what you'd expect...

Yes, she's a cat!
I named her Harley because of her two-tone harlequinlike face.

Still waiting on that motorcycle...

I Never GetTired Of Looking At This

NEVER!!!

Can George Lynch play that guitar without a cigarette hanging from his mouth?!

Well, maybe for a minute or so...
