The Zen of Catboy

We have survived "Black Friday!"   We have gotten past "Cyber Monday!"  Personally, I don't do any of that but I know a lot of people who are whipped into a frenzy about the next holiday.  Then there is Catboy.  He wants me to remind you that I can buy him a bag of new toys, and he will crawl into the bag and fall asleep, totally ignoring the toys.  He will stretch for 10 minutes until his body feels good, and then take a nap to celebrate.  He is, after all, almost 19.  He enjoys just gazing out a window, or sitting in a sunny spot, but also being petted and spoken to.  In these coming days, it would do all of us well, to take some of his advice to find time to just be.  Think of all the stress we could alleviate!  Make a ripple, know what is important, see what happens.
