Roxie sometimes snips me with her teeth.  Yesterday she got me right on my back side.   I thought it was to get my attention but I recently read cats do it to mark you more intimately.  I don’t know if mothers do that to their children.  Some hold on too tight but after a time it’s up to us to set ourselves free…not just from mother love but from anything that harms us or prevents us from fulfilling our dreams and living a reach full life.

…just got off the phone with a neighbor who doesn’t know if technology is the blessing we make it out to be…I for sure am often befuddled but often amazed.  Of course those of you who know about Roxie and her laser toy know CCL and I have two cats who are with the new tech for sure.   Still don’t know about Roxie and her social media skills however.

As I write this Roxie has returned after going missing for 23 hours.  I  think she got outside last night when I was helping my friend Peter get some things from my garage for the yard sale he and his wife Ruth had today.  I never saw her leave.   Exactly how she got out and where she hid for the entire length of time is a mystery although she  was located in my neighbor John’s yard.  He’s building a deck.    During our search my daughter, CCL ,and I  noticed Roxie peeping from  behind the base of the deck , the lure of the laser toy I was beeming too much for her to stay hidden.  CCL went in the yard and retrieved  her from behind a can of white paint as some of some of my neighbors watched in amusement.  Apparently Roxie did attempt a brief return while I was out getting a manicure this afternoon – evidenced by white paw prints on my black wrought iron steps.

As I write this Roxie is listening intently to a sermon by my pastor.  There is so much to be grateful for it’s important not to take things for granted.  I read after 40 years a political couple is calling it quits.   How? Why?  I don’t know.  A lifetime.  What makes us grow and go on??  What sustains relationships, associations??  Jean Claude and Roxie have a rhthym but in many ways are as different as night and day.  They like their time together and their time apart.   They work toward common goals.  Clearly they appreciate each other’s company.  Love in its purest form.
