Quote Challenge

Eli from the blog, Coach Daddy nominated me for a quote challenge and the rules are:

  1.  Three One days
  2.  Three quotes
  3.  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

Gone Away – Diana Blokzyl

An Angel whispered
take my hand and
come with me
your work here is done.
I went away to a place
where there’s no tears, nor sorrow
only laughter and smiles,
there will always be a Tomorrow.
As I move amongst the clouds.
I’ll look down and smile upon you,
while the angels
sing a heavenly song.
I am not alone
all who went before
are here
they awaited my return.
I know you’ll grieve
and wish I was still here
I am here in the memories
you hold dear.
Remember how much I
love you
and know I took your
love with me.
I did not wish for
you to cry, nor feel sad.
My pain is gone and
I am Free!
Soon you’ll come to me
until then
God will be with you
Just as He’s with me.

Came out to look at me

Inside Our Dreams – Jeanne Willis

 Where do people go to when they die?
Somewhere down below or in the sky?
‘I can’t be sure,’ said Grandad, ‘but it seems
they simply set up home inside our dreams.’
