The Cat

I spent the day working on the slide show for my daughter's bon voyage gathering tomorrow afternoon at church. Between my computer not working right and my not being able to work the slide show program correctly, I was pretty frustrated by the end of the day. "Near tears" is more like it. I finally got some help with the program which calmed me down a little, but it was still pretty stressful finishing the slide show.

As I was sitting at the dining room table working on the show, I looked up and saw my cat sitting on the window sill of the open window--it was a beautiful day, the entirety of which I spent indoors. Looking at the cat I thought that her biggest challenge is getting our attention to open the cellar door so she can get to her food. What a life!!

There's probably a lesson or two (or more) here: don't get stressed, enjoy the day, look at the beauty around you, ask for attention when you need/want it, take naps, play when you want to...and on and on. She looked peaceful, and I longed to be feeling that peace.

Well, I finally did finish the slide show, but I won't bore you with the additional glitches that occurred. Suffice it to say that the "show will go on" tomorrow afternoon, and I do believe that after this weekend, I'll be able to "sit on the windowsill" (figuratively speaking) in the very near future, at least for a time.
