Experts say that we are all the sum is of our environment – of late it’s the sum or average of the top five people we spend the most time with- that’s why it’s important to pick your friends carefully. Koko and Jean Claude spend a great deal of time together at CCL’s house where they regular enjoy the company of other cats, still when it’s time to come in from the storm they chose each other.
Jean Claude and Koko survey their world
Koko, the domestic shorthair and Jean Claude, the Black Bombay live the life. They eat, venture outside a bit, play and sleep. They enjoyed Christmas especially helping to unwrap presents.
Yes we are in the midst of the holiday season. New Year’s is coming. Christmas is past. Kwanzaa is here. These events implore upon us to celebrate, spend time with family and friends, enjoy good food, fun, rest, relax and find spiritual and life renewal.
Still there are a lot of people who choose negativity. They show you their dark side : envy, naysaying or inappropriate behavior all the while proclaimIng their good intentions. Many also live in a constant state of turmoil or indecision and want you to embrace their drama. They want to drag you into their nonsense.
It is time to cut the cord. Banish these bottom feeders from your life. It is time to seek new options, new horizons, positivity, hope. Choose peace.
Jean Claude Chillin During the Holidays
Pope Francis paid a visit to the U.S. this week. He literally made a stop in my neighborhood of Brookland DC in fact I can see the Basillica from my house and yes I hear the bells on the hour.. Truth be told the vibe in my neighborhood aka “Little Rome,” is always pretty positive but it took on an added “feel good” air during his visit. One thing the Pope quoted the Bible Luke 6:31 to a joint session of Congress “Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You.” Interesting in a culture where it’s usually do unto others before they Do unto you. Unfortunately in Congress, as well as other parts of the city the latter creed seems to persist, the real question is why. All the back-stabbing, undermining and belittling – why? Does it really mean success for those who engage in small acts of emotional terrorism? I like to believe the answer is NO. I’m with Pope Francis on this one. Ultimately a higher power decides.

Jean Claude , the black Bombay and Koko, the shorthair are visiting me. I recently purchased some home and office items and naturally the cats love them. Here’s a side view of their cat town – imagine Aretha’s “Rock Steady” playing in the background.
