139. was it something i said?

go back to your cats!

he yells at me....and

hangs up the phone 

 —My cats rule.  I’ve always lived with cats.  Cats are purrfectly liberated:  playful, curious, clever, sometimes tough and sometimes tender, quiet and peaceful.  They simply are who they are, helping me to be me.  

—Humanity needs the animals, wild ones and domesticated ones, to soften our hard edges and to remind us to walk softly on this Earth.

under the trees

what more could I want?

 

137. thinking of Bill the ox....

somewhere 

between the rooster and the tiger

comes the ox

 —This is the Chinese Year of the Ox.  In Chinese mythology, the ox is valued for its earnest, hardworking nature. Ox people are deeply determined, which can come across as being ‘stubborn.’  They make great leaders due to their drive and sense of duty.  They possess strong confidence though, preferring to be more low-key, they often do not show it.  They feel great responsibility to family and as long as they remain true to their overall nature, they have no financial worries.   Ox people were born in:  1949, 1961, 1973, 1985

     Please note that if you were born in these years, this 2021 Year of the Ox may at times intensify one or more of these inherent characteristics, either for the better or worse.  This may last for the year or only for a short time.  Best thing to do is simply pay attention.
