I don't have as many dog stories but I do tons of cat stories. I've been blessed with some interesting cats who do make sure I know when they need or want something. Yeats was notorious for when I was on the computer, and he wanted attention he would lay right across the keyboard. I could move him but he would come right back. Once I snuggled with him then he would lie down beside me. Macavity when he wants to eat, taps your leg repeatedly. And when I ask what do you want he goes to his food dish. If I don't get up immediately, he will come back and tap my leg repeatedly.

I agree animals are far more intelligent than we realize.

I tend to overthink and second-guess. I try to let go. Moving on from past mistakes (whether or not they were truly mistakes) is key for me to meet new challenges and make new mistakes. *sigh*

I've lived with people who had needs. Sometimes it worked out; sometimes life intervened.

My favorite OT book is Ruth. I truly believe that kindness matters.

I've been in the process of taking back my house for awhile. Actually made some major progress in January. It is always a work in progress with an older house. I'll cheer for you as we both clean.

Groundhog Phil is an amusing story in the Philadelphia area.

I just finished an embroidery project, it was so relaxing.

I would be devastated without my sight, I craft a lot and that loss would end all the things I enjoy.

What day is this again? Oh yeah! It's Monday. I feel kind of like I missed a day somewhere. I'm still kind of brain foggy. I honestly think it's because the weather keeps drastically changing so quickly. We had below 0 wind chill last week and low 80"s today. It plays havoc on the autoimmune disease. I am feeling drained today too.

Take UP Your Cross

Blog Prompt: Think about a difficult decision you had to make. How did your faith influence your choice and the path you took?

I have faced many difficult decisions in my life. My faith always seems to play a big role too. I've written about my most recent one not very long ago. I have many more to choose from though. It's hard to choose one in particular. One decision I had to make was if I should continue to work a part time job through the pandemic because I was a care giver to others. It was more than just about me. I have my own health issues but the people I was caring for was also high risk. I chose to not work. I haven't worked much since at a regular place of employment. This is partly how I got into network marketing.

I don't want to try to follow through on a big decision without God being a part of it. I desire to live according to his will.

Prayer prompt: Pray for the hostages of Hamas and their families.

Use these words in your entry: play, madness, time, mind, pray, slice, dice, and March.

I feel a poem coming on.

As the March madness continues to bring
A little season we know as Spring,

The squirrels come out to scamper and play.
I look out my window and begin to pray.

These are crazy times we live in today
It's a time of the rolling dice,

We all want an economic slice of pie,
And wondering how many are soon to die.

Nations are rising against each other.
People are quick to fight one another.

It's hard for the mind to take it all in.
Is it time for the end of the world to begin?

Prompt:
“Never underestimate the power you have to take your life in a new direction.”
Germany Kent

Do you really want your life to change direction at the moment, and/or which values would you like to prioritize right now in your life whether you want such a change or not?

I am in a strange period of life. That's a good question. I don't necessarily like where I am right now. However, I am trusting in God's sovereignty. He has good and perfect plans for my life and is working everything out for the greater good in my life and those around me.
