Being the worst day on this planet for me, I thought I’d look towards brighter and better things.
Yesterday I dashed off a 942-word story to send to the 100 Stories for Haiti (thanks to womagwriter and fairyhedgehog blogs for this info) project. The idea is to create an anthology of 100 chosen stories from submissions with all proceeds to go the Red Cross.
The deadline being today, I was up burning the after midnight oil near enough cross-eyed and trying to prop my head from drooping.
It was very hard trying to think up a story full of hope and joy at that time! I know there will be other better stories than mine but it gave me a sense of purpose for a few hours.
Then there’s the Cat.
For the first time in a long, long time, she actually played with The String. It was all of five seconds but she definitely followed The String as I dangled it in front of her. Better still, she pounced!
Whoa!
I didn’t think she’d go for it but she was definitely showing an interest in her catnip toys so I thought I’d try to entice her with her one and only favourite toy.
And I’m so glad I did.
So all in all today’s Monday’s not starting off too badly.
But it’s still the worst day on this planet for me.

I'm sorry today's the worst day for you, am sending you healing universal Light and wishing you spiritual, non-religious Blessings and Peace. (LOL, but I am just the same!)
So glad the Cat showed interest in her favourite toy, the string. Chum was a string guy, actually. Nicki's more of a stick man and Derry's a laser light kind of guy. :-)
Whatever the day brings, whatever memories or unhealed hurts, remember that "this too shall pass." And also remember that "The darkest day lived till tomorrow will have passed away."
(((Hugs)))
Hi Kitty,
I'm sorry it's the worst day on this planet for you. Sending you hugs. You can email me if you like: kitty.fairyhedgehog@recursor.net or my main email address is in my blog sidebar.
Hooray for you entering that contest! Who cares if you win? What counts is finishing a project and committing it to review--scary scary stuff! Enjoy your day and take a nap!
It's brave just to submit something, whether or not it gets chosen. Too many writers never send anything out.
I'm glad about your cat. I hope she progresses even more.
The day will soon be over. I think it's five hours later for you than it is for me, so don't spend your day traveling in this direction or your day will be even longer.
Old Kitty, thank you for your kind words to us on the loss of our darling Angel. We miss her a lot.
Best of luck with the contest!
A very wise cat person said that old cats do not stop playing because they are old, they stop playing because we stop playing with them. Now we know Old Kitty has some other reasons for not playing, but we are all very pleased she enjoyed her little string game. May there be many more and many more...
