A father and young daughter walked together. I imagine she was heading for school. What made me smile was the black kitty that was doing "quick time" to stay close if not in step with them.
It was almost a an animated cartoon image. I have noticed the cat before. He really likes walking with his "people". I am grateful for moments like this of pure joy.

In the past I have accepted two other challenges - Two Writing Teachers 30 day Writing Challenge (March); and the A to Z Writing Challenge (April). Each of these challenges have helped me grow as a writer and as a person. I have decided that I am ready for a new challenge. I have decided to take the 21 Day Gratitude Challenge as the next step with my "One Little Word" adventure. It is already taking me in new directions.
- "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. " - Melodie Beattie
I really liked this quote. It says so much to my heart. Thank you for keeping me company on this journey.
This particular challenge is like a special gift just for you! I liked reading about your special noticing. My daughter has a cat that walks with the family, really fun to see. And, Melody Beattie has a book of readings. Perhaps you will enjoy it?
ReplyDeleteI am glad you told me Melody Beattie has a book. I loved the quote.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brainy quote and I like it. I wonder if I can pass the challenge, but I'm willing to try it for myself. Sounds fun and very challenging. Thanks for sharing the idea about the challenge you have tried. I'm excited to visit their website soon.
