A Time to Reflect...

"A time to reflect" is an overused cliche.  Yet there are times in life when one realizes that is exactly what they are doing.  Since the first of this year I have had some minor health issues that largely incapacitated me.  Being unable to operate, gave me a lot of time for reading, sleeping, watching television, eating...and yes, time for reflection.  In summation I've come to the conclusion that I have lived a good life.  At the end, I have family that are friends and friends that are family...and they all get along.  What more could I ask for?

In fact the other morning, while enjoying strong cup of coffee, I observed to CJ (my cat):  "CJ, you know what, we have landed really well."  We have a warm and comfortable home.  He has critters to watch...and in fact, he thrives in this space.  I have classical music to listen to and good books to read.  What more could I ask for?

Lastly, as I have mentioned, I dealt with health issues this year that impaired my functionability.  Now those health seem to be in the rearview mirror of my life.  And I ask once again,  what more could I ask for?

​You see, I have health, home, food, love.  What more could I ask for?

CJ (aka Casey Jones) became 13 years old today. He was born on 8/27/2009. I did not get him until the week of Thanksgiving in 2009. So this is his official birth date. And as always for his birthday, I open a can of water-packed tuna and drain the water along with some delectable pieces over his evening wet food meal. He loves it! There is a whole lot of smacking noises while he eats as well as a whole lot of purring. Meanwhile, "Dad" (that's me) incorporates the leftover tuna with tuna helper for my dinner. It's tradition. It's a blessing.
