mail call

Some days I let myself wonder as I step toward the mailbox, what might I find inside? Will there be a letter or card from someone that I love? Or might it be bills and catalogs? Yesterday, the post contained a special delivery.

A beautiful handmade journal, created by Marta ~ 04.23.07

Inside it holds a surprise on each page, quotes. I love quotes. This bounty was brought as part of a journal swap over at CAC. Thank you Marta for the truly lovely journal!

Rameses sends a grimacing stare as I try to lean back on the couch, "Yeah, it hurts", I say. He seems to be aware of the pain that is piercing my back, but it's much more likely that he's ticked because I don't give him kitty treats whenever he askes. He's gained quite a bit of weight the last three months. Short of training him on the treadmill - we've decided less treats and smaller portions at meals might help.

There are times when he's staring at me that I think he's trying to use ESP in an effort to persuade me to supply more food. Seriously, I think he may be frustrated by his inability to brainwash me.

deepest, darkest ...

Look deep, deeper. Keep looking. What do you see? I see a light, shimmering light. It comes and goes, follows it's own path. Then there, look. Shadows playing with the light - teasing. Where one goes, the other follows - on a parallel mission. Fishing for something or leading us on. Appearing joined at the hip, it's a ying and yang thing, an ebb and flow -a team at work or maybe it's play.
