There is so much heaviness on my mind these days. This latest tragedy will stay with us a long time. And more personally, losing Cali recently and now hearing of Toady's passing may not seem too serious to some but when you love your cat and lose her and feel that same loss for another, it leaves you tired and withdrawn. I'd like to thank all those who left such nice comments about Toady. Some of you knew him through my cat-sitting posts. He was adopted from our local shelter at the age of 7; a throw-away. We know though, that his last 5 years were filled with love. That's what we have to remember.
Christmas is fast-approaching and we must carry on for the little ones.
It is such a magical time and we want our families to always have good memories of the holidays. It's something to hold on to in the future when you need stability and a sense of roots. It's important. We will carry on but be enveloped in a sadness for the families who lost children and loved-ones so tragically.
Today is the start of a busy two weeks with cat-sitting. I mean busy. My gifts are bought and wrapped and the house is decorated so I can now concentrate on business. I have new cats to meet today and many regulars to visit.
I feel some excitement to be now at this time of year for my work but at the same time I feel like I have weights on my feet. Like everyone, I will carry on but with a sad heart.
Sometime after Christmas I will do a post and introduce you to all my charges over the holidays.
I thought it would be all one colour and then I would add some bobbles and glitter but he loves lots of colour so it seems to have a lot going on already. I just added his name with red felt. "Hope you like it, Bradley."
We come together in prayer today. I wish you all a quiet, peaceful day.
hugs, Deb
