Its been days since I wrote... I'm fine... trying hard to keep things going in a better direction... I do better in some areas than others.... I didn't feel too good about my last entry... Yall are kind... but honestly... I was just expressing a desire to do good... and I do have that... but its no particular kudos to me...  Its easier loving the world than hating....  Pain opens our hearts and truly its a gift... and special... and I'm grateful...  Going to go read some journals and hope everyone I've been missing is ok... If not... its ok... we'll cry together... Hugs Elissa Had to add a note... My cat is fine... He is so much his own person cat... you know... cats are like that... like a girl told me recently... dogs have masters... cats have servants... LOL  One of the things that amuses me about Piper is how he hates detests loathes closed doors... He wants access to every room in the house and he lets us know it... We keep several rooms shut off to cut down on cooling costs etc... Whenever I go into one of these rooms for something Piper is right there... he stalks in with his tail up and slashing... everything is fine if I just let him explore to his hearts content... but once the door is closed again... his royal highness is not so pleased with me.... Oh he's rotten and I'm enjoying him so much... Ok Ok... I confess he's my newest baby... but I'll save the rest of my Piper stories for later... kind of scatter them in my entries one at a time....
