Notice - Reach Out - Make Someone's Day

This husband and I…

Went for a little stroll…just a couple of cool cats marveling at the beauty of the river…greeting the deer resting on the grass…breathing in…the fresh spring air…

One of us…as always…was chatting away…the other…as usual…the cat had his tongue…when what to our wondering eyes should appear…but a shadow…following behind…not far…not particularly inconspicuously…but yet…as you would say…walking…on cat’s feet…

Perhaps he was curious…we hope not…that never bodes well for a friend like ours…or perhaps…he just wanted to come along…join the fun…but felt the need to be cautious…to hold back…

And isn’t that the way it is in life…in any given place…or activity…even with those familiar to you…there are those…that loom on the edge…of the inner circle…perhaps it’s what they prefer…or perhaps…deep down…they are hoping for some kind of encouragement…a gesture…an invitation…

We’ve all been there…on the outside…and when that one generous soul…breeches the awkwardness…and lets us in…they are nothing less…than the cat’s…meow…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
