I design & making jewelry also. I don't sell it. I give it to my family & friends. It is a good outlet for me to take my mind off of the pain. I like the photo of your cat. I have 4 cats. I used to have a Siamese mix that looks like your cat. I lost him to cancer a couple of years ago. I still miss him terribly. I hope you have a good day & many more good days ahead!

I feel the same way! I have no idea how it got so out of hand, accepted to say that most thought I was attacking my sister in laws weakness. As a result, their own pain of people accusing them came out. And when it did, they would no longer make any effort to try to understand were I was coming from. On the other hand, a few saw through my weak explanation and understood what I was saying. That no matter how sick we are, or how much pain we are in, we should not judge and condemn anyone.
Once again thank you, you are a blessing
