A Purpose In Life

Day 16: Everyone should have a purpose in life. This is mine. I do not need that hand to do needlework, to hold a book, to pick up a cup of coffee despite the thoughts running through my head. That hand has a greater calling to serve, and unless I'm compelled by bladder pressure to do otherwise, I will not move until it is released. On this occasion, the other hand was free to run my pocket-sized point-and-shoot camera, but that's not often the case. He usually prefers it to be resting lightly on his back. It's hard to believe that only five months ago, Merry was a teacup cat, a cat who would have fit in a pocket, a little babycat full of curiosity and mischief. Now he's nearly 10 pounds of curiosity and mischief, still going at gale force until he drops like a stone for a nap. That's "kitten" for you. They only have two speeds: Warp 9.9 and Flop. But I see the "mellow" coming on in moments like this, when it's all about love and the bond we've established. Look at that smile!
