negative

I have found that anytime I have anything to say that is negative to anyone that I wait 24 hours. At the end of 24 hours if there is any doubt if I should say it . I wait another 24 hours and there is always that doubt at the end of the first 24 hours. At the end of the 48 hours I never find it neccesary to make that negative statement. Works for me.

retreat

This past week of house sitting and pet keeping has been quite interesting . Anytime I sit which is quite often soon the full managerie is present . The dog at my feet pushing tight against me. Comet (Callie's cat) is on the arm of the couch touching my shoulder. Stripes the older cat is on the back of the couch resting on my shoulders . All seem contented to just have human contact and can stay there for as long as I 'm there reading or just watching the world go by as they say.

What a great retreat and all here right in the middle of Collierville. So quiet !
