Those gorgeous golden eyes to ring in the Mew Year belong to our sweet rescue, Shadow.<\/p><\/div>\n

As the New Year begins, I typically enjoy writing a reflective post, sharing my thoughts and wishes for the days ahead. I’m not one for resolutions, as I try to live each day with the best of intentions, but this year I’m just tired and I don’t have the mental wherewithal for a deep post. The nonstop daily barrage of sensationalized, often conflicting news stories, political and personal divide, and the exhaustion of the minutiae of a Covid world has caused me to withdraw a bit from blogging and social media and my creativity is on hiatus as a result. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Jazmine helps express how I try to live my life every day – as if it’s the best day of the year.<\/p><\/div>\n

Don’t get me wrong. I know things will get better and I’m still working on writing projects in the background. I’m still on social media and I’ll still be blogging, just not as frequently as I used to. And I blessedly still have eight beautiful cats, a wonderful and loving family, numerous fantastic supporters and colleagues who I adore, and a job. So, while it may seem I’m feeling defeated or depressed, I’m not. As I said, I’m just tired and need to unplug a bit from reality.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Life can seem overwhelming at times, but it is within us as a worldwide community to affect change for the better good of mankind. Thank you Mia for being the perfect model for this quote.<\/p><\/div>\n

And I actually do have one wish for the days ahead. It’s a simple wish, but its impact is without limitation. Please, everyone, do your best to be both kind and responsible. Compassion, respect, and empathy for others matter. We are all connected in this world and what we do, or don’t do together does affect us all<\/strong>. We’re living proof of that reality and we need to take care of one another and this precious earth we’ve been blessed with.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Peanut, Mia, and Zoey prove kindness and politeness are two attributes that never go out of style.<\/p><\/div>\n

Take care everyone – you are all the best and I wish you peace, safety, health, and happiness in the days to come.<\/p>\n
