Ignore it. I noticed JC and Roxie tend to let go of things that should get them upset. I accidently locked Roxie outside today after I finished tending the yard . Later I opened the basement door there she waiting to be let in – as if her right… walking inside gingerly and confidently.
King J.C.
I’m from Cleveland. Yeah, we lost LeBron but the Cavs won their first pre-season game last night. There are still some folks some wondering whether it was a bad move or a good move. Will LeBron (literally and figuratively) miss the ball?? King James, as he was known, has moved on. His decision still a question mark, even according to news reports for himself. I think what makes one true royalty, a person of real value to the world , is the ability to know one’s self. I watched today as Jean Claude regal and royal stood at the back porch door watching as my neighbor Bonnie’s dog “Six” carried on. JC, who has been known to meow like a dog himself at times of crisis, was nonplussed. He knows himself. His kingdom is where he chooses.
I Know What You Should Do
Oh no you didn’t. Yes there are a lot of people who want to be all up in your Koolaid. They know exactly how you should live. Give them the license – confess a problem, make a suggestion or ask for help on a small matter — and honey it’s like having a vampire come into your house. They are harder to get out than roaches. Some of these folks are relatives and yes even with them I have found I have to “put the brakes on the bus” and as Reverend Lance Watson said, tell them “this is your stop- get off.” Self-esteem, at least in humans, is made not born. Lucky for me I have role models in Roxie and Jean Claude who know their place in the world and love me unconditionally.
The Brazilian Edition
Brazil is a country of contradictions like any other country. But it’s fabulous! Bahia is fantastic and I love Sao Paulo. I didn’t expect to love it.
However, as always, cats follow me everywhere and I saw the cutest kitten at an outdoor nightclub. He found some food and then started meowing so loudly. I wanted to buy him food, but at that point I was out of treats so I pray that God will take care of him. The kitten started showing out, but unfortunately I could only take one picture of him.
When you travel, who you travel with is just as important as where you go. Travel with those who like to travel like do you. Some people like to relax and just chill. Some need their days to be packed. .
A Positive Outlook
Cats always have a positive outlook on life. They don’t hold grudges, even Roxie who gets mad tends to let it go. I wonder if they have a positive outlook on life. I realize that sometimes we think we are easy going positive people and yet we never have a good thing to say about anything. We complain, but try to do it jokingly, or we always look at what something isn’t rather than what something is.
Cats just accept their surroundings good, bad or indifferent and will often try to adjust.
Are you someone who has to have a comment about everything? Can you hold your tongue so that you lose the battle, but win the war?
Today, try to smile no matter what happens. If you feel happy, smile, if you feel sad smile. If you are angry, smile. Why do we hold on to things for so long?
