Dear Bella:

The stray cat survived the snow, lived another day. This is what is considered success in nature: make it to another day. I see my life  this way, goal: make it to the next day. And  take  it  from there, to the  day after.

The holidays will be over soon enough, time doesn’t disappoint us this way, it does move, never stopping, and if we are  patient enough, we will feel it  move, instead of finding ourselves stuck in made believe eternities of boredom or disappointment and  sadness.

No such thing  as eternity. It  is not raining here today, sky is grey, no sun, trees are still, nothing seems to  be moving. I already had my lunch (It is not noon yet here, but I wake up  so early). Soon will be going  for my  walk, same loop. Talking about cats, there are cats roaming around this area, mountain lions (cougars), bob cats and a few house cats. Lots of mice to eat. I didn’t see this one cat for a while, coming to think about it, she  or he used to hunt a lot around here, and I didn’t  see her for a long time.

I will be away from the computer for the next sixteen hours or so. Drop me a post here and there, like you did today, don’t be a stranger.
