How is everybody holding up?

15. Thanks so much, Lucky!!! I will.

Wow, you did have a whirlwind. That's a LOT! You have a great attitude and I totally agree with your comment about humor. Humor has gotten me through some pretty big challenges.

Those years were pretty "heavy" for me, as well. I was out of work for a period of time, had a house falling down around my ears, and then FINALLY got to live out my dream by selling that house and buying a small piece of property in a rural area.

Did I mention that I run a cat sanctuary? That has it's own set of challenges. It is amazing, inspiring, and it's what keeps me grounded and moving. I am incredibly grateful to have been able to build this and live my dream. I've never been a "vacation" type of person, so this is my commitment to them and it's an every day thing.

It can also be sad and this is a "sanctuary" and not a "rescue". The cats are all here to live out their lives and many are quite old, so loss happens frequently. I've really had to take myself to task at times when there's a loss because I love each and every one of them as if they were my ONLY furr-baby. I stay extremely busy, and I think that's truly a godsend.

So...if you ever decide you DO need a challenge, come on down to Texas, and I can put you to work in this venture!
