Wordless Wednesday. Sweet dreams.

“The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”- Morrie Schwartz

My poor blog has been looking pretty sad the last few months. Poor, sweet blog needs some love. And I need to get back to center (or a little off of center as some like to call me). My life has felt a little out of balance lately...getting caught up in drama that is not my own, my focus drifting from center. Sounds very vague and it is I know...sorry.

So, my goal is to get back here. Blogging about this and that...and reading all of your this and that as well....back to center!

Tik. Oh my. What an addition this little guy has been to our home. He is a black and white bundle of...let's call it energy (that is putting it nicely). One day he was out and about and got stuck in a tree. STUCK. IN. A. TREE. I had to climb on a chair, grab the branch and he launched himself onto my back...
Oh Tik...he's trouble. He has no fear. He likes water. He wants to eat the bird (really, really bad). He is naughty. But we love him.

Thankful for: my guys, as always; our sweet kitties; our home. Simple. That's all I need.

(cats know this!)

On Sunday I introduced you to Tik. He has been with us for five days now and is quite ingrained into our family. He definitely has his own personality and is full of kitten curiosity. So far Ellie May tolerates him (he LOVES her) and Jazz is scared as can be - spend most of her days and nights outside at this time...she's warming up a bit...I think.

Tik's favorite things (so far):
being held
meowing in the kitchen (thanks to Ellie May he thinks that is what you are suppose to do there)
meowing to be held
sitting on your lap at the computer
exploring
sleeping
sleeping on Troy's pillow
sleeping on Troy's head
climbing the screen door
exploring more
running around
exploring some more.
So much fun (and so much work) to have a kitten in the house. Loving him!

Sunday Citar

Welcome Tik, the newest member of our furry family. Ten weeks old and full of life. June is Adopt-A-Cat Month and adopt a cat we did.

"A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden." ~Robert Southey

"Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many ailments, but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia." ~Joseph Wood Krutch

"The reason cats climb is so that they can look down on almost every other animal - it's also the reason they hate birds." ~K.C. Buffington

"A kitten is chiefly remarkable for rushing about like mad at nothing whatever, and generally stopping before it gets there." ~Agnes Repplier

***Joining in on Tabitha's Sunday Citar again this week. Go visit and Happy Sunday!
