I just received a head’s up from a friend who works in a grocery store. Their store is going to be putting up for sale this weekend only- canned cat food- various brands. Although I fully appreciate the tip, there is only $6.00 left in CATS right now. We are completely out of vet debt for the year! YAY! But we also are now down to only 12 cans of cat food. Our weather, much like the nation has been unbearably cold- down into the 20’s and even the teens one night! I have amped up the feeding of the sanctuary cats, especially because right now, their heat sources aren’t as plentiful as they are used to. All the electrical in the carport has been deadened due to a leak. So I keep the rescues warm by giving them wet food\.

Most of you, I am sure are pinching pennies these days. But if you can spare a few dollars during this busy time of year. Our kitties would surely lap it up!

I got through the anniversary that I thought I might not be able to handle. The year anniversary of God reaching out to Michael and taking him home.

This year of loss has taught me so much. I have lost friends, and gained others. I have gotten mad at God and also embraced Him. I know that he is catching my tears and my pain.

I know that I can get through this now. I had my doubts at times. Sometimes the pain was so intense, that I couldn’t breathe. Or so numbing, I couldn’t move.

As always, Molly is sitting on my lap. She is looking at me with her soulful eyes. I wonder what she is thinking? “Congratulations human. You have felt terrified, lost, abandoned and alone. Now, you are truly one of us?”

Truth is, I was never alone. God was with me every step, as were all of you. And for that. I am truly grateful.
