• When I'm having a bad day, or just need to have some time by myself and think things through, I have two outlet points. 1) I get in the car and drive somewhere. 2) I find a lovable cat, and sit down with it and pour my thoughts into it's listening ears. For me, there's nothing quite as comforting as a cat's purr. Crazy and laugh-provoking, yes I am aware, but uniquely true. Everyone must have some kind of unique twist to themselves....this is one of mine.

  
  

  The past few days have been some-what challenging and "thoughtful" days for me, and I have felt sometimes like my brain couldn't hold any more, but unfortunately, I didn't have any outlets available. No car, no cat. So, you can imagine my extreme and insurmountable joy when, as I was walking along the outside of the church, what did my eyes see, but a orange and white cat come running towards me, meowing for my attention. I was in the ecstasies of bliss!

  
  

  After dropping my back-pack off, my first goal was to go locate that heaven-sent cat. I found her, and we had a good, much-needed talk....for about a mere 2 minutes. *sigh* I guess it just wasn't meant to be. A bunch of fun-seeking boys came by, and the next thing I knew, my one listening friend was a orange streak through the dusk, with a band of screaming natives at it's heels. I watched for a little while, as they chased her around, hoping that they would go away, and let me finish my talk with her....but I finally gave up. They were having too much fun to stop, I could tell. 

  
  

  And so, I was left with my thoughts all alone again. I've looked for the cat every time I went back outside since then, but no matter how hard I've looked, no little orange and white purring feline came out. Oh well.....*sigh*
