Eli from the blog, Coach Daddy nominated me for a quote challenge and the rules are:
-
ThreeOne days - Three quotes
- Three nominees
each day
Humans often think that cats spent 95 percent of their time sleeping and relaxing and the other 5 percent eating and stretching/scratching. But that is far from the truth. Cats have ups and downs in life too. And for the longest time, the following quote would best describe my life.
Quote # 1
“It’s all messy. The hair. The bed. The words. The heart. Life …” –William Leal
Then one day, I stumble upon an interesting quote by a wise and famous tailwagger.
Quote # 2
“In the books of life, the answers aren’t in the back.” – Charles Schulz
My life’s perspective has since changed and I now live by the following quote.
Quote # 3
“Fear less, hope more; eat less; chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.” – Swedish Proverb
The three meowminees are:
Farah @ The Girl with Coffe
Hannah @ Hannah Fearless Blog
Witchy @ Witchy Wisdoms
Purrrrrs, NBC
🙂 I’m often reminded of “quotes’ – but on these 3 topics, opened by you – I can think of several that echo – – LOL – –
But I had to share – my dad quoted brilliantly and often, during my upbringing, “If you want to be heard, stand up – You want to be appreciated? Shut up” LOL Still, all these years later, haven’t got the hang of routinely following the second portion – – LOL – but then, Dad’s pal did ask if I was innoculated with a phonograph needle, so surely, country lore tells folks what to expect –
RE: the time spent by cats – I am, apparently, viewed as trustworthy, by the feline world, even though, they aren’t my first pick on who I should get talked into providing a rescue home for – cuz, I’m rather a doggie person, in that land – BUT – I like to think of the Cat World as my patron saints and they forgive me my sins –
“UM…..yes, I am lazing around in the sun and taking it easy – but come the time something needs be done or the night allows me serve justice, um, yeah, all you folks that waste precious energy looking busy and getting nothing done during 9 hours of daylight, we spring into action, and take care of in 2.5 seconds – or we realize not this time, and we retreat to nap and gear up for the next grande opportunity – – LOL – Sorry for the blogging in your comments space- but figured, safe, since you to be a cat lover – 😀
I had a comment, years ago, on my blog about the sun sign Leo, (paraphrased) “Funny, I thought all you Leos do is nap in the sun and laze around….” I was, perhaps, harsh in my response, or perhaps it was a fun comment and I scared an online bloggy buddy away – but yup – It may look like I’m taking it easy and doing nothing, but just wait for the moment I spring into action – less energy spent to achieve, overall, but for the love of all that is holy, puhlease do not make me run in circles chasing my tail – – that crap is for doggies – – – LOL

LOL! I’m really more of a doggie person too. Don’t be fooled by the name of my blog. Sydelle is a cat lover and she suggested the name of this blog. But there’s a part of me that’s so much like a cat – I love to take naps and I love to do my own things and have my quiet moments. And I don’t give a hoot about what others think of me. ฅ(≚ᄌ≚)

Fortunately, my doggie pals realize, “Fine, okay, she thinks she’s a cat and queen – as long as she keeps up her end of the bargain – – ” LOL

LOL! Thanks, Eli! The 2nd quote is one of my favorites – wish we have all the answers but trial and error is the way to go.(,,^・⋏・^,,)

Trial and error doesn’t always give us the answers, but it can give us even better questions, Pat.
