The little black and white beauty is Corey and Danielle’s new kitten. Look at those gorgeous green eyes! When you hold this kitten, she looks into your eyes like she’s looking into your soul. She has the most beautiful eyes. She is laying with her proud new big brother, Stripes. Stripes is about 1 1/2 years old now. The kitten is eight weeks old. I’ll post a little update when the little beauty gets a name.
Ok, so here’s the deal………..if you know me, you know some of the qualities I value in people. I value trust and friendship and honesty and kindness and gentle souls. I value people who care about people and people with a giving spirit and people who call or e-mail just to say “hey, how’s it going” and not to say “I think about you all the time and just never get around to calling, but now that you’re on the phone, can you (fill in the blank) for me”.
I value peace. I remember when I was a teenager and we were having the usual Christmas Eve party at my parents’ house and somebody asked “What do you want for Christmas” and I said “world peace.” Somebody roared with laughter (I won’t name names but I do remember who it was and they were also a teenager so maybe they didn’t get it then – I think/hope they do now). I do wish for world peace but I don’t think it’s attainable – people are people and we are all just too different.
I value pet-lovers and people who care about the elderly. I always say that if you don’t love and care for pets and the elderly, you’re not my kind of person.
So…………if you think you know me, you know all or most of that about me. You also know how very much a gift I received today means to me. It’s a necklace and my Mom gave it to me today, New Year’s Day. I love the word on the necklace and hope anybody who reads this has it and gives it and encounters it every day. (A better picture will be posted soon – my camera is unwilling to free the pictures today for some reason – Joan, I’m blaming you for that!!!).
