Oh, my goodness – what a welcome surprise. My dear friend, ‘cat’ visiting from several neighborhoods away.

And, always with a smile for the incoming day.

I watched as she stretched and arched to the sun, as if it the first time she’s ever felt the joy of a single ray.

Cats are such connoisseurs of comfort, teaching us that everything in life has its purpose.

A ball of yarn, a piece of string; a borrowed bit of window shade.

You’d swear their only purpose was to find new paths to explore. These fuzzy-footed adventurers, with only love To share.

Oh, that we might take a lesson or two — to enjoy these moments, however few.

To fill our hearts with the grace of ‘just simply being.’

Namaste, my beautiful friends – and, have I told you lately how much I love you?
