Sometimes the smallest things can remind us of all our reasons for gratitude.
In our case, that “small thing” crawls up on our stomachs and purrs in the morning.
Snow Leopard, our ten-year-old kitty, does not like cold. Since she’s a California kitty, that would mean “any time the thermometer dips below seventy”.
Consequently, when mornings get chilly, we get a gentle paw on the covers. And a persistent paw. After all, she is a cat. She knows who’s in charge in this house!
Then, once she gains entry to the warm space, she does what any happy cat will do.
Knead, knead. Purr, purr. Oh, that hurts…because, of course, kneading involves claws.
But if you put your hands under her paws, she can lull you right to sleep with her purrs.
In the rush of getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas, our sweetheart cat reminds us that what’s really important is taking the time to enjoy those who love us.
Now, when you look at your reasons for gratitude–what, or who, tops the list?
Happy Thanksgiving!
