HAPPIES for TUESDAY


Mine Mommy has always said that when I first wakes up in the morning
before anything else ~ well, I do stretch a little first ~
but then really, meow, the first thing I should do is think about the day ahead,
be happy for my good nights rest and be happy for this new day. 

Think a happy thought to start the new day, 
this is the happy thought I share with you on this new day ~

Happiness is not about getting all you want.
Happiness is about enjoying all you have.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK SHOW

Sunday Morning Talk Show ~ and no, I'm not talking about all the ones on TV.  And there are so many.  They're on the regular networks and all the cable channels ~ but me and mine Mommy figured out that with "whatever" the news of the week was (and last week it was purrty bad) ~ all the shows will be saying the same thing!  She used to flip, flip, flip from one to another to another.  No more.

Now the Sunday Morning Talk Show is her talking to me!  Meow she says.  Meow I say.  It's much more fun.  Wouldn't you agree?  Sanity reigns.  Let the sunshine in!  I sit up here atop my polka dot chair, I turn into a bobblehead kitty and watch her do this (like put away last nights clean dishes) and watch her do that (like make the bed) and each time she walks by she pets me and we kiss-bump our noses and say "meow".  Meow means I love you.  It's our very own purrsonal Sunday Morning Talk Show.

Gotta go now, we got some talking to do ... meow!

THE ARTS


Beautiful inside and outside, and historically significant,
the Baltimore School for the Arts makes it home in the former Alcazar Hotel (1924)
 and a brownstone mansion (1850) next door, once the residence of H.L. Mencken.
It is located about two blocks from where I live in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood
of downtown Baltimore.
Recently, my friend and neighbor, Linda and I, enjoyed a wonderful
Sunday matinee production of  music and dance in the magnificent theater there.

HAPPY IS

HAPPY IS  

Because mine Mommy sometimes gets all upset with the way the world is, 
I thought to share with her my thoughts about how to be happy.

Happy is: getting a bit of fresh air, I so enjoy that here at my window

Happy is: remembering even on a cloudy day the sun still shines somewhere

Happy is: a birdie will fly by if I'm patient, 
good things come when you just wait a bit

Happy is: the church bells will ring again on the next hour, just listen

Happy is: flowers are beginning to bloom in the park, 
take a walk, see them, smell them

Happy is: share a smile and a kind word with someone today
and oh, remember to pet my furs,
petting is like hugging, it's a magical kind of happy

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

... and before I forget, it will make me happy if'n you'll put all my
springs back on the window rim, I had lots of happy-fun in the night
putting them all in my rounder ... meow
