Not too long ago, my mommy started moving things all around and vacuuming out little corners. I was afraid that we might be about to move, but she told me that we are going to make a cave for Daddy to sit in, so we would be doing some painting. We have furniture all over the place, books stacked up all around, and things sitting on things where they shouldn't be. Even though I knew we weren't going to move, I was still nervous because I don't like change. But look at me! Behind me, you can see some of the things that are sitting everywhere, but just look!
I am calm and content.
And here is my kittysister, Foot Foot, the way she is most of the time.
She is not calm or content. Now, who sits with Mommy during her meditation?
Again, here I am, surrounded by all the stuff Mommy moved for painting:
And here is Foot Foot, not surrounded by all the stuff since she ran away from it, but still not happy. She is on the table, trying to be above it all:
I think if she would take the same few minutes Mommy and I do each morning and evening, she would find herself a whole lot more like this:
Don't you agree?
And I would like all of you to know that I say all of this from a place of concern for my kittysister Foot Foot, and with no judgement towards her.
Today, perhaps you might try to take a few quiet moments to yourself, maybe just ten deep breaths with your eyes closed like Mommy does all the time when she starts to lose patience, and see if it helps. I have even found a handy online meditation timer for you. (I just do things like this. It's the worker dog in me.)
Have an enjoyable day, and dance some.
