This is Feline Friday.
This is also a day-after Thankful Thursday.
Yesterday we thought to have a quiet day, at home, maybe just tidy up, maybe run Mr. Dyson.
But. There was June. Curled up in her window rounder with a friend.
An invisible "do not disturb" sign, no vacuuming nearby.
At least I could gather the scattering and smattering of toys there in
anticipation of doing it later on ...
There, among furry mice, springs and jingle balls. My iPhone?
A few inches away in the mess of her toy box, the TV remote?
The iphone: set on SILENCE.
The remote: MUTE.
This little cat, smarter than I ever knew.
Yes. Time to be silent.
The months of stress, weeks, days. Drama, angst. Projections of hate.
The wave had rolled ashore and we could and should now accept the mission
with purpose and grace. No bragging, no bluster. Joyful celebration
is allowed, and time to be thankful, quietly so.
Then to welcome all who came to join us.
And to begin the hard, very hard work of moving forward, of changing
course, standing tall and righting wrongs.
You are a very smart girl, Juney!
ReplyDeleteWe must start somewhere and we DID.....you're right the hard work is ahead but it will be nice to have the feeling of having overcoming obstacles and that will make the work EASIER hopefully.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pam and Teddy
you know a lot aout the things of life... and what they can do
ReplyDeleteJune, you're so adorable all snuggled up like that.
ReplyDeleteI hope that things in your country can move forward in a more positive direction now, Ann. And that people get out and vote again in two years. No one wants to see a repeat of this. ❤️

ReplyDeleteCharlee: "We have been enjoying the silence here too, June! Just as Depeche Mode advised so long ago!"
ReplyDeleteI look at the lists of firsts from this election, and my spirits are buoyed.
ReplyDeletesuch a cute mousie June!! yes everywun here feels a sense of relief

ReplyDeleteDarling sleepy June!
ReplyDeleteAfter all the noise that was the election and the cheering of the aftermath, a bit of quiet is likely welcome. But my goodness, is June the clever girl!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute all snuggled up in your rounder with your mousie, June. It was nice of your mom to put off her vacuuming so you could sleep.

You are such a sweet girl. XO
ReplyDeleteI don't vacuum when Mudpie is napping nearby either.
ReplyDeleteSweet innocent June. You wouldn't take the remote and the phone for yourself, now would you? (Please teach me how to silence the phone) XOX Xena
ReplyDeleteSometimes we do need some peace and quiet.
ReplyDeleteThe silence is good, June. It is a silence with hope as opposed to my anxious silence before.
ReplyDeleteA calm silence in my head and heart. True... about "moving forward and changing course."
We did not realize how much pain and anger we were carrying. Hopes and dreams feel possible once again, but with the knowledge that there is so much work to do.
