Wind Beneath My Wings

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?

You're everything, everything I wish I could be

.Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,'

cause you are the wind beneath my wings,'

cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.

You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly away.

You let me fly so high.

Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,so high I almost touch the sky.

Thank you, thank you,thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

TT

Treat me kindly, my beloved friend for no heart in all this world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick for though I should lick your hand between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me learn.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the soft touch of my fur against your leg, when your footsteps fall upon my waiting ear.

Please take me inside when it is cold and wet for I am a domesticated animal, no longer accustomed to bitter elements.

I ask no greater glory than to have the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.

Keep my pan filled with water for I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.

Feed me clean food that I may stay well, to romp and play, to lay by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger.

And my friend, when I am old and no longer enjoy good health and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going, I am not having fun.

Please see that my trusting life is taken gently.

I shall leave this earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands.

Please stop in and give a warm purr and a hug to TT's Mom and leave a kind thought for Molly and Shadow. TT's Mom said it best when she wrote about TT...

"...you gave me love unconditionally. In the end, I hope you knew that I was your strength when you had none."

She knew.

Surrounded by love she left your arms to God's...

Thankful Thursday

Ping:

It's good to be totally healed from that bitey I got from one of my siblings.

I hope I never have to go through anything like that again!

Finally Friday

Miss Abby

When I saw this picture it took my breath away. Every so often an image comes together so beautifully, the composition, the look,the light, everything. I just knew when I took this picture that it was going to be one of my all time favorite images of my sweet little angel and it doesn't disappoint me.

As I was looking at this, a thought came; do cats ever have vain moments? We human obsess sometimes about how we look, do cats care? It got me thinking about how images are changed and sharpen and air brushed and photo shopped. Cats don't need any of that and I don't think they worry in regards to their 'image'. Cats grow gracefully and peacefully. I think I want to be more like Abby and just be happy with how am I right now...

Thanks Abby -- my ever so beautiful baby.

Wordless Wednesday: Alert

Boo's Not Ready For Her Close Up

Mancat Monday: Stretched out

Perchance to stay

Hamlet's Cat's Soliloquy
To go outside, and there perchance to stay

Or to remain within; that is the question:

Whether 'tis better for a cat to suffer

The cuffs and buffets of inclement weather

That Nature rains on those who roam abroad,

Or take a nap upon a scrap of carpet,

And so by dozing melt the solid hours

That clog the clock's bright gears with sullen time

And stall the dinner bell.

To sit, to stare outdoors,

And by a stare to seem to state

A wish to venture forth without delay,

Then when the portal's opened up,

To stand as if transfixed by doubt.

To prowl; to sleep;

To choose not knowing when we may once more

Our readmittance gain:

Aye, there's the hairball;

For if a paw were shaped to turn a knob,

Or work a lock or slip a window-catch,

And going out and coming in were made

As simple as the breaking of a bowl,

What cat would bear the household's petty plagues,

The cook's well-practiced kicks,

the butler's broom,

The infant's careless pokes, the tickled ears,

The trampled tail,

And all the daily shocks that fur is heir to,

When, of his own free will,

He might his exodus or entrance make

With a mere mitten?

Who would spaniels fear,

Or strays trespassing from a neighbor's yard,

But that the dread of our unheeded cries

And scratches at a barricaded door

No claw can open up, dispels our nerve

And makes us rather bear our humans' faults

Than run away to unguessed miseries?

Thus caution doth make house cats of us all;

And thus the bristling hair of resolutionIs softened up with the pale brush of thought,

And since our choices hinge on weighty things,

We pause upon the threshold of decision.

--Shakespaw

A HERO lies within you

Mu Shue

There's a hero if you look inside your heart

You don't have to be afraid of what you are.

There's an answer if you reach into your soul and the sorrow that you know will melt away

And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on and you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you.

It's a long road when you face the world alone;

No one reaches out a hand for you to hold.

You can find love if you search within your self and the emptiness you felt will disappear.

And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on and you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you.

oh....Lord knows dreams are hard to follow,

ut don't let anyone tear them away.

Hold on, there will be tomorrow,

In time you'll find the way

And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on and you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you

that a hero lies in

... yoummmm that a hero lies in.....you.

Wordless Wednesday

Tuxie Tuesday: Mirrors

Abby & Boo

Mancat Monday: We're Back

Ping:

It's been wacky around here lately. Momma got sick and had to have these strange men in a big metal box show up. Daddy locked us all up while they were here to check Momma out, then Daddy took Momma away to the emergency Vet. They didn't get back home until way way early in the morning. Momma was on something called moorefiend...she didn't look too good. The next day she slept all day and Abby slept on top of her -- finally she didn't have no more moorefiend in her and she said she was glad. We was glad Momma was OK! But it scarit her and us a lot, only good fing was she stayed home with us for 5 whole days and nights. Wowie Momma you ought to get sick more often!

IN OTHER NEWS:

The day before I had my little adventure we were trying to give Ping his antibiotics. I do emphasize trying! While his Daddy held him I gave him his medicine in the eye dropper. Well he knew what the eye dropper was and he fought us tooth and paw. Even though he was in a towel he still managed to create all kinds of mayhem. During the struggle, blood went everywhere. I didn't know where the blood had come from and upon further investigation I found that the bite area on Ping's leg had opened up. I felt so bad and it hurt him terribly. His poor little leg was just shaking from the pain. As happens the next day it was so much better. In hindsight it was a blessing that that area popped open because we now believe it helped the healing go so much quicker. The leg is still bothering him a bit, but he is almost completely back to being Ping! It is great to see him growing stronger every day.
