Good morning my DU family,

I couldn't sleep last night so here I was at two in the morning having a delightful time sitting on the covered porch as a gentle but fairly heavy rainfall made for a very serene and pleasant hour.

The best part was that Cuddles, who never ever sits on my lap in the house, spent the entire time sitting on my lap getting his head and neck massaged and loving it.

It really is one of those special quirks that makes me so thankful for him. Moments like that go right into a treasure chest heavy with special moments that is my honor to carry every step of my journey in life.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to experience special moments with the people or pets around us, moments that we can and will not just treasure, but also gratefully allow to enhance our humanity.

Have a fulfilling day DU.
Love, John

In the sense that all our special time is old hat. Lol

We have several special times every day, she gets her chin bath every evening after dinner, and at least once a day, she'll join me for a nap, laying tight at my head and resting hers on or in my hand. Purring like crazy.

She's still my baby girl.
