A feel of spring in the air!

I woke up this morning...

and I could feel the air was warmer...

The sun came out...

and the wind started blowing....But...

It is a wonderful warm wind! At least it 'feels' warm.

And I realized, "Oh my, I don't need a coat"

I can't remember the last time, I didn't have a coat!

It seems like this has been the looooooooongest winter!

Is that just me? or have you felt that way too?

The birds are singing..not just one or two...but a chorus that 

makes me heart sing...

I think the birds are as pleased with me...with the gift of this

warmer, sunny, breezy day!

It's 63 in our neck of the woods!  63!!!!

and it has made my soul soar...........

Such a must needed, blessed day!

Funny how that works...sunshine, a warmer breeze...and birds singing

there sweet song...

and my soul smiles, from deep inside

all is well, all is well :)

(Pictures were taken in a friends garden last July )

How is your Neck of the woods today???

Looking for this kind of Kitten :)

I am searching for a kitten...like this???

why? you may ask...do I want a certain Kitten?

because I found 'Him" once in a box...at k-mart

he was the only one in the litter with the Half/Siamese markings!

growing up, we had Half Siamese cats..there loving dispositions were just so 

exceptional that when I found one...(and I love BOY cats)

I had to bring this guy home!

(This is a black and white...or you could see his gorgeous blue eyes)

We named him CB..that stood for cry baby! he was a family cat. I don't think he even new he was a cat.

he went in the car with us, and camping with us, he sat in the kids wagons and sleds...as they cruised down the snow hill or road.

He loved water and bath time...

and when bedtime came..he was snuggled in...until morning!

He was LOVED...and yet...at only 10 years of age,

I had to put him down.

Kidney failure. I had assumed I would have him for at least 18 years...

but to my dismay, that was not to be.

to be honest, that was the hardest thing i ever had to do.

The vet said, "if he stops eating, that is when..because his death will be slow and painful, he will know he can't eat...because that will make the death even harder..."

He stopped eating!

I waited several day's and then new...new I could NOT allow 

him any pain and suffering..

I made a appointment for Sunday...

He was in my arms..and I sobbed and sobbed...

to be honest, I didn't think I would ever be the same again.

for the next week I sobbed  of and on constantly and I went around with swollen eyes.

It goes against everything in you... I am to save him, help him...

Not allow his life to be over.

But he had been heading in this direction for 6 months...

he was a lover, a family member...

and the kind of death he was looking at...was NOT acceptable for a cat that was so Loved!

Today they call these cats 'Ragdolls'  the bread was started by just taking stray cat's

with the part Siamese or full Siamese markings and breading them together...

why? because they are that lovable.

But these kittens cost from $600 to $1800 a piece!!!

OH MY!

Spring is coming...if you see a box of kittens...wont you peak inside?

and if you see a lil boy with these kind of marking...will you take a pic with your cell

phone and send it to me :)

Our CB is not replaceable...but I know, that another lil boy kitten will find its

way into my heart.  And I am missing having a cat...!

I have been searching for awhile now...the humane society, box's of kittens,

on the Internet...sigh...

Because you see..i need a lover kitten. So even though I have had other kittens that are tabby, 

black or white...I am craving..a part Siamese to love on!

I am in the Midwest.....so I can drive here or there....to get him :)

thank you for stopping by!!!

Do It Anyway.....

It seems 'LIFE'

wonderful, unpredictable...

beautiful

LIFE!

How many of you have heard the 'story'

about the elderly woman who lost her husband?

It was valentine's day, and oh how she missed him..

it was her first without him.

The day wore on and her heart was heavy, with missing him,

with grief and just wanting to have him near her again...

she heard a knock on the door..

who could it be?

and as she opened the door 

there stood the florist with

a dozen long stem, red roses.

It must be a trick she thought, a cruel trick,

for this is what her beloved husband had sent her, each year

always, throughout there life together on 

Valentines Day!

so she called the florist, this is a cruel mistake she said, he is gone.

the florist assured her, "it was not, before he got so ill, he made plans,

that for the next years ahead

a dozen roses would be sent to her,

on each Valentines Day, after he was gone!

the elderly lady fell silent, could it be?

she got off the phone and slowly opened the card...

and there were the words..the words he always wrote

and yet one word was different,

always he wrote, "I love you always"

this time the card said, "I love you eternally"

She held the rose's close and the card,

tear's came, as she heard from her beloved

On Valentine's Day!

Stories like this, I have always loved..always.

there are young father's and mother's who leave behind

video's of themselves and notes and cards...

so there children know, how much they were loved.

My mother also always loved this. I always assumed the gift behind knowing

you had a illness, was the gift to do these kind of things, or to say

what needs to be said, leaving nothing unsaid behind.

A tragic accident doesn't allow one to be able

to do these things...

Yet, my mother, couldn't do this..bless her heart! and yet,

I would of loved to have had something, just a little note...My mom

couldn't say goodbye...

I realize for my mom, to do this, was to confront the 'possibility' she wouldn't

get her miracle, and she just couldn't do it, being in

denial was safer for her...

The other day it occurred to me..why do we need a illness to make us aware?

I can do this now! I am a Mom, a Grandma, a Wife, a Sibling, a friend.

I can leave behind my messages...just in case.

My messages of love...and I can always, always Add to them if I want to.

I can do today, what I think is a beautiful gift to leave behind for those

I love. I don't have to wait for a illness..

or worse have a tragedy were I don't get the opportunity

I can just "Do it Anyway"

and since doing it "Anyway" has always been me...

this seemed to fit and make me smile...

Life is about 'Doing it Anyway" there doesn't have to be a time or 

place that is correct... it doesn't have to be reciprocated...

we can always do what our heart believes shows love

we can always do whatever we want that is

beautiful ..it's 

OUR LIFE!

DO IT ANYWAY!

Have a blessed and happy, loved filled Valentine's day!
