Happy halfway through the week! I hope your week has been great so far, and it only gets better until the weekend returns. My week has been going as well as it can, considering I am still trying to find a job and have almost given up on hearing anything regarding my disability application anytime soon. To think that I had many conflicting thoughts about applying, and now the government is shut down, it almost seems like a sign that I was right not to apply in the first place. I know that might sound negative, but if anyone sees a positive light in this, please let me know. I will try to view the job search and disability in a more positive light and hope it will influence the outcome favorably.
I know I have written many posts about my cats
, and this post will not be much different because I always have something happy to say about these sweethearts. With everything I have dealt with in life in the past few years, my cats are one of the only things that keep me happy
and sane. I want to apologize because I do not have any pictures of the newest addition to our family with the others in the cat crew, but I will keep trying. Over the past few days, we have started allowing Blitzen out to roam the house. She seems to have enjoyed the new adventures and has made immediate friends with Layla. Of course, Grayson is a very sweet boy, and he has taken kindly to her. Willow seems to still be a little confused, and as always, she must hiss at her, but that is kind of her normal behavior. Not to our surprise, Luna tries to keep her distance, but she will come around.
Blitzen is finally eating on her own, and I do not need to sit with her while she eats. I am sure the only reason she would not eat before without me sitting with her is that I bottle-fed her for a week, and she was used to having me by her side. I have a loving relationship with all our cats, but the bond with Blitzen is something special because if we had not taken her into our home, I am unsure if she would have survived. I have already had a hard time knowing that one of the outside cats in the same litter as Layla was hit by a car, because I feel responsible for all the cats inside our home and outside. When you have a bond with a cat or any animal, it brings something unique and exceptional to your life. This can be an unexplainable love that you never knew existed.
I know it is not Friday yet, but we are much closer and made it through Monday and Tuesday! No matter what has already happened this week, try to focus on what you want and what brings you the most happiness. Of course, we do not always get everything we want out of our week or even our lives, but we can still try to remain hopeful that something good will happen because we deserve good in our lives. Each of us has so much to offer the people around us and the world we are living in. We have all endured many struggles, and we have overcome most of them because of the strength we carry inside our hearts. We may not be able to give others the strength we had to beat our struggles, but the way we overcame many struggles can encourage and inspire many other people.
What has been the highlight of your week so far? Now, let’s set aside the negative experiences and focus on the positive feelings from the best part of our week. We may not realize it, but when we approach life with optimism, positive outcomes often follow. The influence of our mindset is remarkable, and it’s worth a try. Time passes regardless of our outlook, so choosing positivity is never wasted effort!
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope something I have shared in this post has offered you the inspiration you need for the rest of the week. I want each of you to know and remember YOU are important and that YOU matter, so please never let anyone make YOU feel you are not good enough. Think about everything you have overcome in your life, and understand this could have only happened because of your strength. I look forward to reading your comments and will respond as quickly as possible. Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love
, comfort, and MANY positive vibes

Always, Alyssa
