Critters and Muggles




Welcome to 

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

and City Daily Photo




"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."

Anatole France




Oops! Where's my self-control?


Sometimes, especially so during holidays, if the weariness of your day gets you down repeat this.

"The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful."

 E.E. Cummings




"May my heart always be open to little birds (and big green strangers named) The Grinch

 who are the secrets of living. 

Whatever they sing is better than to know

and if men should not hear them men are old.

E.E. Cummings and Me




"Don't let the muggles/or blues get you down."

J.K. Rowling and Me



"There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts." Richard Bach



Lyra's very own new pup!


"When you come to the edge of all the light you have 

and step into the darkness of the unknown

Believe that one of the two will happen to you.

Either you'll find something solid to stand on

Or you'll be taught how to fly."

Richard Bach




One last thought today (every single day) to carry you through these days of festive holidays and all the rushing here and there. Breathe. Take a moment to reflect. Rejoice now.




And may myself do nothing usefully 

and love yourself so more than

 truly there's never been quite such a fool who could fail,

 pulling all the sky over him with one smile. 

E. E. Cummings



"We are here to turn the forest into a home,

 and make peace with all creatures." Michael Bassey Johnson





Thank you for stopping in. Please know your thoughts and comments brighten my day.

Enjoy every moment.

Be safe and take good care of you.
