the cats meow...

...or something like that

does anyone really know what that means - anyway? - it's like all those sayings we use - where do they originate?

but that's not really what my focus is today - this is an adorable little trivet - i received from a work friend - back in the day, as a gift one year for christmas - because she knew i like cats - that was probably a good 17 years ago - when i looked at it today - i thought of her and wondered - where is she now - how is she, what is her life like - i pray all good things for her wherever she is - unfortunately i have no way of tracing - her whereabouts to be in touch - so can only wish her well

do you have those kinds of people in your life - who did a good turn - and when you gaze upon something - you think of them - the thoughts bringing forth a plethora - of memories and fond remembrances of - times you spent together - stories shared, jokes exchanged around - times which can't be replaced - there is no 'do-over' for those kinds of interactions

perhaps you need to reach out - extend a hand to someone you haven't seen - in a long time either by phone - or letter or email - might it make a difference to them - if they heard from you because so much time has passed - think about it - it doesn't take much effort - yet can make a huge impact - and think how it would lead to...

a

happy day.....
