A Tuesday thought!

Sunday's social media share of the day:

Saturday's message:  It's OKAY!

- to make mistakes
- to have bad days
- to be less than perfect
- to do what's best for you
- to be yourself

Hoping everyone's having a good weekend.

Love to you all!  

Friday wisdom.  TGIF, everybody!

It really was an accident...and let me add that if he was still mad about that EMPTY chair rolling over his tail....he definitely got me back with interest, because he clawed and bit my leg in ADDITION to splitting my charger into two!

Another reason I love our community so much!    Hoping everyone had a good weekend! 

Truth!   Happy Monday, everyone.

A little note of encouragement.  Happy Thursday, everybody!  

A little Friday message to those of you who may need to hear this:

Came across this gem on my newsfeed on social media and wanted to share with everyone here.  It is imperative to be compassionate to yourself in times of difficulty. Self-care is a great way to do that to help yourself heal. It is giving yourself permission to pause, to love yourself, to be kind to yourself and remember that you are just human and you are doing your best.     Sending you all love and safe hugs!!

For those of you who are also having mixed feelings seeing the Mother's Day posts on social media: I'm with you.  Wishing you a happy day if you're celebrating and holding your hand if you're not.  

Salem is here to say hello.  He is modeling one of my hand-made SAAM bands - yes, I did take it off after this picture was taken as it's not a 'regulation' collar, but here's our boy's contribution to the observance of Sexual Assault Awareness Month!  Teal is a nice color on him, isn't it?

SAAM bands made by yours truly - I'm wearing these all month.  

Say hello to Salem!  

Pocket riders needed for tomorrow.  Attending a family gathering and there will be in attendance some family members I do NOT wish to see.  

Oh, and Lucy?  Pencil me in for Sunday, please!!!  

 I am missing someone today.  18 years in Heaven, although it feels like only yesterday we lost you - Grandma, please continue to watch over my family and all of those dear to my heart.  

Don't forget daylight savings!!! Clocks ahead one hour, tonight!  

Wishing you all a fantastic weekend!  

Happy Sunday, everyone.  Here's a thought for you all. 

This spoke to me, today. 

Sweet dreams, baby boy.  

Our boy has stopped eating and has showed that he is unable to continue the fight.  He has been a true warrior and has hung on for a month following losing function of his hind legs - and someone wise did say that extra time he gave us was truly a gift.  But - he's now telling us he is exhausted and we've had to make the most heartbreaking decision we've ever thought possible - our sweet Dexter will be making his way over the Rainbow Bridge tomorrow.  I am absolutely devastated.  Pocket riders appreciated for the next 24 hours as we prepare to say goodbye to the most lovable and faithful fur-baby we've ever had.  

Continued good vibes needed, please, for our cat, who has lost all function of his hind legs and is unable to walk.  Still, he is a fighter and has been surprising us day after day with his strength and will to keep going.  Although his prognosis is not good, he is calling all the shots, and he's not finished, yet.  He is looking especially handsome today, so both he and his Mama are accepting hugs and positivity!    

How is everyone doing, today?  Sending out hugs to anyone who needs.  Just because!  

Merry Christmas to you all - if this is a time that brings you joy - I wish you all of the blessings possible and hope your holiday was a truly wonderful one.  If this season is one of your struggles, I wish you peace and comfort - hang in there - it is almost behind us.   Either way, sending you all lots of love - no holiday required for that.  So grateful for all of you.
