The litter boxes are cleaned, the cats are fed; I've put out food for the birds and the squirrels. Now it's time for me to have a bit of breakfast and a cup of tea while I check the media news and listen to the classical music station.
The sun is shining and the weather is finally turning cold. It's good to be indoors and not have to worry about getting ready to go out and face the work-a-day world. I've been retired for two years, and up until now, I've never considered if this is a good place in my life.
Lately, my daughter has been treating me as if I were handicapped, just because stairs give me a problem and I can't open a plastic bag at the produce counter to put my vegetables in. Old age separates us from the vital exchanges of the day.
Is this my life; catering to cats and wildlife? Enui is settling in and I'm not even aware of it! I must sharpen my wit, expose myself to mildly stressful events, and consider myself more importand than the three cats and the wildlife outside the door I seem to be closing.
