Is there anything cuter or sweeter than a kitten? What is it about them that tugs at our hearts? Little girls love them and even grown men can't seem to resist picking one up and petting it. Part of their charm is that they really don't care what you think about them - they can live very well without you, thank you very much! They will purr when picked up, but won't beg for your attention. They are miniature cats with the attitude of a full grown cat. They are so independent that they can be infuriating! There is no "poor me" syndrome in cat land. Their eyes don't miss a thing and you can keep them amused for hours with a string. I love how soft their fur is - the feline equivalent of soft baby skin. There are some people that all cats like. My niece A was such a person. When she was little, she could subdue any cat, no matter how wild, and have it purring on her lap in no time. Come to think of it, A was also independent and played by her own rules. Maybe that's why the cats liked her so much - she was a kindred spirit! Independent and free-thinking little girls and baby kittens . . . it's a good thing!
Sometimes the world can be a downer! With instant images of tragedies and disasters – natural and man-made – assaulting us at rapid speed, it feels like we are surrounded by negativity. I strive to make my blog a positive and happy place to visit – a place to get away from the bad stuff that is happening. My goal from June 1, 2010 to May 31, 2011 was to find one positive thing each week day to write about for one year.
That was the birth of my blog – one year of “good things” as seen “Through Rose Coloured Glasses”. Sometimes I had to dig deep to find happiness on a gloomy day. Some days were not happy, but I was always able to find a positive to talk about. Sometimes, I had to fit writing my blog into the end of a very busy day or the early morning prior to a busy day. Other times I had such good days I had to pick and choose which one good thing I should write about. Somehow I managed to do it, and I think I proved that you can “fool” yourself into being happy just by pretending you are. The year flew by. I will continue to write in my blog, but not every day. I hope that together we can continue to watch the world through rose coloured glasses. - Rose
