The crispness of the air
smells wonderful
as coffee is sipped in silence.
The neighbourhood is quiet
only a few morning sounds
echoing along the streets
as more people wake up.
As the sun rises so does the city.
It will be a busy day.
But not yet.
Another sip of coffee before I go back in to get ready myself.
People say inappropriate things.
People get mad.
Someone does something that hurts you.
What differences does it make?
What is the problem?
How can this be solved?
Anger is an emotion.
One that is given bad press.
It leads people to do to bad things.
Getting rid of anger is impossible.
It will always be with us.
So the problem is…
How can we channel the anger into a problem solving path?
One that allows us to use that energy for good!
Fall is here.
Winter is holding her hand.
Winter is telling Fall what to do.
I really do not think they are friends.
Winter just decided that he did not want to wait his turn!
Trying to wake up the sleepyheads
in order to get them to school
is not a fun task.
They groan and grumble
and glare.
Oh the glares!
They are the fiercest of all!
Persistence is the key.
Eventually they stumble down the stairs
and having gathered all the leaves
of school work
out the door they go!
A lazy day
meant for lying around
and just relaxing.
A cup of coffee or tea
and the window
for outside watching.
The times when
Monday and the week to come
rise to the mind
cause a drop in mood
that rattles the tea cup.
Sundays are supposed to be fun days!
Crazy Cat Lady
When you hurt yourself
and go “I’ll be alright”.
But….
when your cat gets hurt
an emergency rush to the vet.
“Is he alright?! Will he live?! Oh my poor baby!”
I’m not saying I’m a crazy cat lady
but I probably broke my toe
and am still walking on it.
The vet was happy to help.
Looking at an unexpected lights.
Getting a stranger to help me in my need.
Who is this lady that requires my child?
No one grabs the trash can right!
Fools! I am the master here!
When the sick one decides
and differs from the expectations
the stubborn gets involved
but resolution is not in its favor.
Factoring in the time
luck sometimes has a play
in getting a reasonable outcome
where everyone gets their way!
She is curled up in my arms.
It makes her feel safe.
I feel her heartbeat next to mine.
Love is spoken through this hug.
These are the days to cherish.
The claws are not always the weapon.
Sometimes it is the eyes.
An attack of cuteness
demanding petting and cuddling.
There is also the pathetic meows
that warrant attention.
Playing or cuddling
they attack with all their weapons.
Cats are not fair fighters!
