Pets

May 2, 2011 By Gail


Melee is my daughter Sasha’s cat. He was a selected from a shelter and is now making their house a home. I think the lessons we can learn from Melee include:
Never put off eating when the kibble is there before you.
Even if you’ve just eaten three pounds of kibble, there is always a chance there might be a treat offered if you look cute enough. Or meow loud enough.
To ordinary people a window is a window. To Melee it is a fantasy world filled with birds and movement and possibilites.
A rolled up bit of paper on a piece of wire can provide hours of entertainment. Who needs technology?
Affection can be earned. Or not. Whatever.
Whenever a person is reading, that is the best possible time to sit on the page in front of them. Permission is overrated.

Shelter cats are wonderful pets, and Melee was the best part of my day.

A Message From Gail

Through my blog and website, I hope to share beauty, laughter, inspiration, aging & midlife lessons and advice on dealing with menopause. I will also devote time to integrative health and healing tips and news. I want feedback and questions because, while we may be sharing the journey, every woman has her own experience and her own story.

    I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Always, always, I’m hoping to prompt thought or discussion about aging and its pros and cons. Thank you for your ideas. I’m listening!

    Hong Kong these days remains a single of the ideal offshore banking jurisdictions. It gives a fantastic mixture of bank secrecy, company secrecy, a fiscally and politically secure environment, and sturdy banks. But possibly most importantly, it really is a secure offshore expense haven for those who want to diversify out of sinking western currencies into booming Asian markets, and China in particular.
