Lady Lucy was lost, and now she is found

It was a 10 days ago when Lady Lucy managed to slip out an inadvertently opened door and disappear. Even though I was sad at the prospect of her permanent absence and had no reason for hope I felt that sometime someday I would have her back. A call would come from somewhere informing me that she had been seen. This afternoon at 6:02p PST Linda called with news that she may have seen my cat, coming through her cat door the past couple of days to share the food of her 3 cats. Agreeing to corral this visitor the next time she presented herself I received a call at 7:22p and Lady Lucy was confirmed found. Happiness is a cat-caring neighbor and a lost kitty back home.

Happiness in the Unexpected Moment

Sometimes it's those little unexpected actions of another that fill my heart with happiness. I was visiting Facebook for a moment this morning when I saw a post by my friend Gloria of The Duprees singing "I Will Never Pass This Way Again." I didn't know this song or even remember The Duprees, but I listened because Gloria does song selections well. It just hit me for some reason and filled me up with joy, and I have been smiling ever since as I ready myself for the day to go out into the cold, wet rain. Life is good. Stay open to those chance intrusions of happiness.

"My mission is to create a world of joyful connection through courageous presence and a nurturing heart."

My theme for 2012 is "Solo and deliciously happy through courage, compassion and connection."

I am feeling a call to blog about how this theme unfolds for me as the year progresses and what I learn along the way. Often I awake in the morning with musings for a blog entry, but no blog to give them a home. I recently read, "Nothing is perfect, but everything is perfectible." Having never blogged before I am unsure as to where to begin or how "Blogger" even functions. With those aspects in mind and the encouragement of a friend today I choose to embrace the imperfect by beginning this journey of soul-searching and exploring the perfectible nature of blogging with this entry.
