Meet Mim: lover of fetch, desperate for cuddles, and she keeps her one large eye on just about
anything that moves.
Which brings me to: Freyja.
Freyja has mastered the art of hair tie thievery, exhibits high levels of anxiety, and I am
proud to announce that I am her favorite person, as displayed in these clips of her dashing
my way the SECOND I'm on the ground.
I mentioned in previous videos that I've been working on my Happy Place painting collection,
so when a friend commented that her happy place is drinking tea with her kitty on her
lap, listening to an audio book, I got right to work on that painting, turning to my little
kittens for inspiration.
As I was filming for this video, I realized it was a *bit* difficult to get video footage
of my cats.
They kept walking up to me, wanting to be held, or sit on my lap...
They could obviously care less about staying in range of my camera footage.
And while I was a bit frustrated, I had to think about how much they just wanted to spend
time with me.
I'm one of their humans, afterall!
Now, do a little exercise with me: think about how many people and pets you have in your
life that you see in the same way: you love being around them, they make you happy, and
you just want a little of their time, because they're one of your humans.
Now turn inward, and imagine all the people and pets alike who feel that way about you.
All of the lives who have been brightened because you graced their presence with your
spark for life.
Think of all the people who are happier just because you spent a little time with them.
You are their human, and your sparky light matters in this world.
What a privilege that God gave us not only animals to spread little sparks of love, but
also other humans, with whom we can form the relationships that make life worth living!
