Good morning my DU family, [View all]

So here I lay this morning, listening to the rain, the thunder and yes, Cuddles and his deep desire to be outside right now.

Long story short, I was goofing around on the computer, playing Canasta when he had had enough. Cuddles proceeded to jump on my keyboard and sit down squarely on it so I couldn't do anything else.
He's never done this before, and I got the message.

I took him to the door, opened it enough so he could see it's still pouring outside and he turned tail and walked off, I swear he was mumbling under his breath lol.

All that to get to my message, which just happens to be that there are times where we need to put our foot down and stand up for ourselves.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to stand proudly and firmly on what we value and believe, and to do so without qualm or fear.

Have a strong day DU
Love, John
