Intelligent Retrieval on Our Critter Saturday

The process of having our world back as close as it once was sometime soon seems well, I hate to say doubtful, I'm more optimistic than that, yet it'll be a long and different road then we've known.

My retrieval into a brave new world begins from a book that has been pulling me every single time I walked past it.  52 lists for Happiness. Weekly Journaling Inspiration for Positivity, Balance and Joy. By Moorea Seal She's a young woman with a lot to say here's an example from her own blog.


It's from List 10 List the ways that you feel lucky.
The next page has this offering.

TAKE ACTION: This week hide something special in a secret corner of your neighborhood: place a crystal along a popular path, hide five dollars under a park bench, or leave an encouraging note in a library book (or any place people frequent) for someone to find. Your love will bring them that feeling of luck.

(I've done this with my grandkiddos before 
and it feels good for the giver as well)

and of course I'm posting to




I've been blessed with a batch of baby bunnies.


More smiling, less worrying. 
More compassion, less judgment.
More blessed, less stressed.
More love, less hate.
Roy T. Bennett
(sounds like animal's credo)


Makes me wonder what is ours/yours/my credo at this time?




The past is a place of reference
not a place of residence;
the past is a place of learning
not a place of living.
Roy T. Bennett
(don't get stuck in yesterday's history)


Life becomes easier and more beautiful 
when you see the good in other people.
Roy T. Bennett



A boy and his kitty.
That is love.



My Dash (Dashiell) and his many haircuts. Being a mixed breed with poodle, Schnauzer and ? his haircuts vary immensely. 



"The problem with putting two and two together
is that sometimes you get four
and sometimes you get twenty-two."
Dashiell Hammett


Sometimes it's scary looking down
so look up pup.


"Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, 
we lose the excitement of possibilities.
 Dreaming after all is a form of planning."
 Gloria Steinem




Little busy fingers at play.

Empathy grows as we learn.
Alice Miller

Children aren't born with it
they see it modeled in others.




No worries, these days will return. 

"It doesn't matter. I have books, and new books, 
and I can bear anything as long as there are books."
Jo Walton, Among Others.

and as long as there is life.





This is the entrance to my bunny nest.



"There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day,
and they're absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them."
Jo Walton

Be cautious, don't rush into something that doesn't feel comfortable. Always Trust your Gut. You'll know when it's time. Always keep yourself safe.  Wholeheartedly, when each and every-single-one of us take care of ourselves, (and of course your little ones) life will proceed into the positive of this horrible invading virus.


Thanks for stopping in your visits 
are special to me.
Take good care of you.

Thank you for your always positive and beautiful posts.
I believe (firmly) that there is beauty everywhere just as long as we keep our eyes, hearts and minds open. Which I try to do, and am bountifully rewarded.
Stay well, stay safe.

What a fantastic post to read this morning, Karen. Your positivity is uplifting, and your words, and those you quote from others, are wise and encouraging.
All of the news coming out of your country these days is depressing and at times horrifying. When I read on Moorea's post about all of the ways in which people in the USA are stopped/blocked when they try to vote, I was utterly shocked. I hope that this can be stopped from happening.

Kia kaha!
