My thoughts and reflections:
It’s really quite marvellous how once you start seeing obstacles as opportunities, doors start opening.
Literally. I just heard a scratching and mewing at the door and it pushed open and in came Mitzy.
Mitzy’s rarely shown me any affection, in fact normally she leaves a room if I’m there, but tonight she came straight in and started winding round my legs.
She would never have come into my actual bedroom.
She spent ages sniffing near the pipes and clawing the rug and now she’s purring contentedly on the bottom of the camp bed, an embodiment of positive energy, and I’m starting to think the Universe is sending me a message.
Mitzy may be old, way older than me if you calculate in cat years, but she’s not worrying about how she looks or the fact she’s single and the vet trashed her ovaries.
Mitzy is a whole, confident cat who knows that she is enough as she is.
I saw a clip from Oprah about how we can learn from the animal world, and tap into the animal within ourselves, and for the first time, I really get what that means.
I feel at one with Mitzy, my wonderful family and (even though I’m in the garage) my home – The Cotswolds – where I was born and raised.
I am grateful for:
Mitzy for teaching me. Here she is, purring, turning around occasionally and pawing the duvet, trusting in the Universe.
