I started a list the first of March-an A-Z list on being Mindful-trying to find calm in my day. I took photos of my daughter, Angela, who recently came home from college-on spring break. I prepped and plotted and then chaos happened-a loved one became seriously ill. Now, I need this list more than I ever realized. So, I decided to join in Arlee Bird's challenge and share. Maybe, my list will help someone else.
I thought of creating an altar, I thought of the word attention, but my A is for Animals. Their love is profound. Curling up with a furry loved instills more than a warm and fuzzy feel, it changes your heart rate, and your mood.
Here my, Care-Tzu, Maggie is sharing her Armadillo with me. Okay, maybe this is her grey hound-anyway, you get it. If you don't have a pet, you can enjoy watching animals in nature. Either way, their remind us to slow down and pay attention to them. This time out distracts my mind and alters my mood. Do you have a pet, what is their name?

Some of my best friends have fur.

There's something wrong with people who don't like animals. They are good for the soul.
I thought I have to do this-I have a list-lol! Thank you, Yes, you are so right! Blogging is good for the soul, too~ I have missed it and missed being part of this Amazing community~
Love the theme. I agree 100% and wish I had a little bundle of fur to help me through my days. Some day I'll convince hubby again!
Happy A to Z!

You can always visit a neighbors' or a shelter. My daughter did this before we got Maggie. She went and walked and played with dogs and cats. It brightened her day and theirs. Yes, convince hubby~
Mary Ann-P for Pet, perhaps? I love the names and I am so, sorry for you loss. I waited almost a year, after losing our hound, Buster. My husband was on the fence about getting a puppy-but he is smitten now and thanks me for nudging him.
Sherry-Thank you! I am happy you are on an adventure, today~ You are in need of time away. Your beloved sea will calm and soothe you~

Hart-I didn't make that toy, but I have been thinking about making clothes and toys, for my Maggie. You are fun! That is a cool A~
Hi Susan-Thank you! My son sent me photos via text for three months, before I saw this pup and decided this was my dog.
Hi Stephen-Yes, I have been missing in action-kinda, sorta. It is nice of you to drop by~ Your blog looks great!
MsHatch-I love the name and we have played string with our dog-so, fun to see how they will react. I bet Kitten is having a ball.
Gail-I am so happy you rescued the kitten and a Yorkie-Pom must of been adorable~ How wonderful! Thank you~ I use to live in Hawaii-years ago!
