Well, I am sitting here in my new sofa, feeling a little chilled. The temperature went down to minus 3 Celcius yesterday, and woke up to frost on the rooftops and cars. We even sprinkled ice melt on the sidewalks. We celebrated Deborah's dad's birthday with cake yesterday, and sent off Moonshine, Deborah's cat to her new home. Apparently, she kept up everyone in the house with her meows. I think we must give it more time to adjust.
I have removed some of the carpets from the floor, and covers on my new sofa set. I am confident Moonshine will love her new place, and she'll be great company for my married daughter. We still have an indoor and an outdoor cat to love at our home.
This morning I went out for a late breakfast, with a friend undergoing medical issues. We reflected on how wonderful it is to have friends close by who can do us small favours, even as simple as to go to the doctors with us.
We cannot do it alone. As we walk ahead, we are more keenly aware that happiness and sorrow are intertwined. They walk hand in hand. My friend shared a miracle that happened to her recently. We encouraged each other and then parted.
I have gone to the graveyard, but big machinery blocked the entrance to the area where Deborah is buried. I will have to make a reef, and take it out to her tomorrow. All I could do was take some bird seed for the pigeons and sea gulls. Tonight we put out some cheap cat food for the crows in our street. As more and more trees are cut in our communities to put in roadways, I feel responsible to feed the animals that make our lives so much more beautiful.
