For the first 50 years of my life, my perfectionist self mistakenly believed it was all about knowing more, getting it right, planning, attempting to prevent bad things from happening, and keeping all of my chicks in a row. It took me this long to discover that the JOURNEY is all that matters. This quote from Gilda Radner sums it all up:

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

Just Catching Some Flies!

With a house full of pets, you gotta have rules.
No dogs on the new couch.
Don't let the cats sharpen their claws on the furniture.
No cats allowed on the kitchen counters.

But there are times when the rules can be bent.
The other day was one of those times.


She was working.
Doing a job that I don't care to do myself!

 A job that she takes very seriously.

She's focused.


On this fly.


 A bomb could go off and she wouldn't even notice!


 Sometimes the fly leads her on a merry chase around the house.


 But today it had mercy on her and stayed on the window.

 But Maddie is lightning fast.
And has no mercy on the fly!
