You think I’m nuts but I love the smooth feel of newly waxed and buffed floors on my bare feet. I love to squirt water on my face every time I water the plants. I love the smell of newly cut grass and delights in discovering new blooms in my garden!
The magic of daily living, taking delight in simple things that make life worthwhile.
I was reviewing the photos I took from way back then I saw these pictures of my kitty. She is no longer here with us. In all the years that we’ve been taking care of our cats, we noticed that when they get ill, they just leave and don’t come back. Why do they go away to die? Do you think they know when they are dying. In all the years that we’ve been here, We haven’t buried any of them but our dead doggies are in one corner of our garden.
So serenely asleep on top of one of my garden pots. Sometimes you wish you could steal a few moments in a blink. Sometimes you wish you could take a shuteye at any time of the day then you wake up feeling refreshed.
I am supposed to have my eye check-up by an ophthalmologist but I told my son to just have it after Holy Week. My left eye got an error reading when I went to an optometrist a few days ago. Maybe, the grade has increased. The optometrist said I might have a cataract and need to be seen by an ophthalmologist. Oh well, this is really something that I need to do.
Happy Monday everyone!

Over the years, we had four cats. Only one went away to die. One died in our basement, and we put the others down because they were terribly sick.

I wonder why they go away when they are about to die.

Nice to look back over old photos, and relish the memories. I also have cataracts, one operable, the other not yet ready. I will probably have to have at least one eye done sometime soon, but I’m not looking forward to it, as I don’t like having my eyes touched. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

That’s one of the things we can’t avoid when we grow old Pete. I am concerned about it since I read every day and use the PC too. My dad had an eye operation (they changed the lenses) when he was alive and his vision went back to normal.

I think that all animals go away to die. I remember an old neighbor in the country telling us that dogs do that. As for cataracts, I have two developing, so you have company.

I think I really need to have that eye check-ups. My vision gets blurred at times and when you cover my right eye, the left one is completely blurry.

Cataracts definitely cause a real change in our ability to see. I hope you get it checked soon.

Thank you, planning to go after the Holy Week. some doctors take vacation too during holidays. And since this is my first time to go to a ophthalmologist, I am keeping my fingers crossed 🙂

Those little niggles creep up on us as we get older. 😦 Not such a bad life, being a cat 🙂 Wishing you another contented, happy week, Arlene.
