This Is The Reason Why

This is the reason why I run late in the morning. I mean how cute is this? I was rubbing Harley's face before I left for work this morning. He pushed my hand down after he had enough, rested his head on it, put his paw over my hand, and fell asleep. I sat there and just stared at him and just felt so lucky. I can't explain it. I know this is going to sound SO sappy. I am just so thankful to have him in my life. This cat has brought me such joy for 15 years now. I want him to be with me forever and I know that cannot be. So, when a moment like this comes I just want to sit back and enjoy it.

Debbie - Thanks!! I know you love animals too. They are the best. Most days I prefer them to people. LOL!

Steph - I know..it was just too cute for words. Plus he was purring while he was sleeping.

and you should sit back and enjoy it. Animals are such a special presence in our lives. My new puppy is already bringing me such joy in the short week that she has been here...and my cat is so sweet too. She also brings me calmness and happiness when I know that she just wants a rub from me.
Have a great day!

I believe this is called "savoring the moment." It's a good thing.
