Hullos Pals!
Well, dis Thursday I almost didn't write this blog. I was having a little bit of trouble accentuating on da pawsitive: riots and looting where my pal @jazzydacat lives; my auntie Isabel confirmed her cancer has metastasized; pals crossing Over to the Rainbow Bridge; somefing going on wif economy which means my treats have been downgraded; on and on.
But mom had a chat to human (a little play on words there) wif me, and in da end, she gave me da sekret words dat make up da word "thankful": gratitude, hope, and faith (wif a bit of humour thrown in).
So I've thot about it and I have to practice a bit more on all those sekret words (except humour cuz I'm one goofball of a kat dat make Mom laff). But I have gratitude in my heart when all my pals show kindness to me; and I have hope that things will get better for all da anipals and hoomans dat suffer; and I have faith in one dat I cannot see, but I know who is there. So in da end, I AM ONE THANKFUL KITTEH!
Thanks for stopping by!

What a nice reminder! Even when things aren't looking good, there's always something we can appreciate. Thanks Smokey!

This was a simple but much-needed post. It's hard to keep a grateful mindset when it seems like all heck is breaking loose, but your secret words of gratitude, faith, hope & humor will be what get us all through! So I am THANKFUL for this post!
