morning mind

Up early, thoughts swirling.
Focus, focus, focus.

Sometimes the "big picture", the next appointment, the what ifs are too much.
Focus on the moment, close your eyes, deep breath.

Texture, color, small details...calm, re-focus.
Breathe....

every story should have a happy ending

And so it is.....my sweet August Rose became a house kitten.
She came inside last week, my two inside boys have been such gentle souls with her.

This house is a castle to her after over 6 weeks of confinement.  And, I must admit, her sweet kitty manners have surpassed all expectations.  She has found little nap spots, plays with such joy and has gotten along just fine with all my gatherings.  It even took her two days to discover that there was indeed a second floor.

She is sweet beyond measure, laying behind me on the love seat as I write, purring.

What began with a terrible accident at the end of May, has become our own little Cinderella story...and in this story, they lived happily ever after.

Ojibwa, Sawyer, Chippewa

I couldn't be happier then sitting on the floor of a hayloft in a 100 year old barn with 7 kittens playing about me. This is indeed my kind of heaven on earth.

We have named the 3 buff kittens Ojibwa, the 3 sable kittens Sawyer and the one gray kitten Chippewa. This makes it easy for now. They will be 6 weeks soon, and have learned to trust me just as their mom, Hope, does.

They play easily...a piece of straw is toy enough.

Their independence & co-dependence feels extra right today....Happy July 4th!
