Call me crazy

but between the raindrops, I am removing the winter debris so the burgeoning crocuses can climb out of their winterness into what I am feeling, spring warmth.  It has been raining non-stop lately, but our temperatures have been in the 40's and 50's.  Nothing can keep me from spring fever now!  It is about time!  It seems as if that propels me in to new ideas, energy, and a sense of hope.  It is my wish that you are starting to feel these things, too!  Catboy certainly is! 

My computer has been out

I have been having computer trouble for the past 3 days.  I don't know if it is soggy from all the rain, or if it has gone on vacation to some place warm and sunny.  I am working to get things handled.  Thank you for your patience!

If we want peace...

work for justice.  If we lived in a "just" world, there would be no reason to fight...ever.

A reminder

from Catboy.  In these gray days of the time between seasons, your pets are beginning to shed again.  They are coming into the house from the cold weather to where it is really warm, and so the shedding begins. Whether you have a cat or dog, it is good to give them a good brushing.  If you have a cat, one thing I do is to put a little Vaseline on top of his paws.  He will lick it off and it will not do anything except help him pass all the hair he has collected the last few months.  Our pets have issues this time of the year, too.  Let's not forget them!

If you give...

you will get.  I have a friend who is not rich, but she always seems to get by and usually has a little left over.  Her secret is that she gives.  She gives no matter what she has and consistently.  It isn't the matter of how much, she just has made the habit of doing it without even thinking about it.  I asked her if she doesn't worry about not having enough for herself, and she tells me that she always has enough. I think she is on to something!

What would it be like...

to live in a peaceful world?!  This is your homework question for today. And for extra credit, What can we do personally make this happen ?   This test is not graded, but maybe it should be.  Have a happy and peaceful day, and think about it!

FYI

Just to let you know, the first few posts I wrote in October and November 2013 were written in color.  They were hard to read so I shortly started writing them in black and white like they are now. Thanks for going back to the beginning to read them, though!
