Sunday Pause (Paws): For Change

19 Replies

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and sometimes in our lives…embrace change.

This has been a tough week/weekend for me because our time is coming to an end in our current home. I didn’t think I would feel so emotional. I’m really concerned about how Cino will do with this move, although in time I know she will get adjusted, as I will. Change can be exciting but it also can be scary.

With moving day very near I don’t have a lot of time to write this post. We’re buried in boxes but we wanted to peek in and say HI!

Happy Sunday!

We can make a change for the future of animals…

Another change for us is we are now on Instagram. Hope to see you there!

Sunday Pause (Paws): The Job Given To Us

4 Replies

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and take a little time to think about the job given to us in regards to animals.

I‘m so busy with packing that I will once again be keeping this post short. I wrote a short poem and created the following image. I hope you enjoy.

God’s creation entrusted to us 
There’s really nothing to discuss
He made it clear and said to care
For all his animals everywhere

Sunday Pause (Paws): R.E.S.T.

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and R.E.S.T.

Kick back, relax, and rest. They all mean the same thing…take a pause. With the purchase of the new home I have been going, going, going. Between meeting with the plumber, a carpenter, picking out curtains, shopping for toilets, trying to pack etc., etc., etc.,…I for one know I need a pause!

I will be joining Cino for sure on this long weekend!

Happy Sunday!
Refresh…Ease off…Stop…Take a breath

(and remember to always care for your animals)

Sunday Pause (Paws): For Breaks

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and sometimes that even means taking some breaks from blogging.

I‘ve mentioned that we’ve been looking for a new home and we now have found one! We are not officially moving for another 4 weeks but it has already kept us very busy running between two places, cleaning, setting up water, electricity….well I’m sure you know (etc., etc., etc.)

Because of this I may not always get my Sunday post in during the next month or so but I will try. They will probably be short & sweet like this one. Continue reading →

Sunday Pause (Paws): Seeing More Clearly

4 Replies

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and put on those glasses.

cino-upside-down-glasses-aafbt

Sometimes we just don’t SEE
Things around us very clearly
We should try a different angle
And just let our feet dangle
Put on a pair of glasses too
We’ll get a much better view

How we SEE things around us is what we limit ourselves to. Sometimes we need to see things from another perspective. Sometimes we need another view.

Happy Sunday!

Sunday Pause (Paws): Just Ask

7 Replies

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and ask for help.

We all need to ask for help sometimes, but it isn’t an easy thing to do. I am going through a very trying time with purchasing a townhome. Through the process there have been ups & downs, highs & lows, and feeling like I’m going crazy. It’s still not over (help).

Even though I fall to my knees in tears at times and beg God to help when it doesn’t feel like he is, I really know he is. Maybe it’s me not listening to him.

This is the same for helping animals. Sometimes it feels like we’re getting nowhere, but we are. Sometimes we feel like God isn’t helping us with this, but he is.

I pray all the time for no more abuse
But then comes another horrible case
It brings me to tears and I feel helpless
So I ask for help in my quiet place

Sunday Pause (Paws): Play!

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and play!

Life can be hard, can’t it? If it weren’t for some “play” time we would probably all go crazy.

I‘m not one who goes out a lot or is super social. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like to have fun or take any time to “play.” I work around children and I have a cat…I get play time. 🙂

The picture below is Cino playing and guarding her fuzzy felt ball with another one of her favorite toys “mousey” next to her while she lays and plays on our tree skirt. Yes we leave the tree skirt out all year long because Cino loves it so much! (I turned the picture into art)

I was awake at the crack of dawn
Another week has come and gone
Today is my favorite day…Sunday
I’m ready to go, I’m ready to play

How about you? What do you like to do when you take some time to “play”?

Happy Sunday!

Sunday Pause (Paws): Just Hang Out

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and hang out with those we love.

Here we are again it’s another Sunday
And we’re stopping by to say hey
So why don’t you grab a chair and sit
So you and I can catch up a bit
Here it has been extremely hot
So we have been sweating a lot
Mom’s busy hoping for a new home
How nice for more room for me to roam
We mourned the anniversary of the death of mom’s sis
No matter how much time passes she is always missed
Planning time to get together with those we hold dear
Catching up on adventures & celebrating another year
But today we’re just hanging out
Because that’s what this day is all about
So that’s what’s up with us, how about you?
We’d love to hear what you’ve been up to
Love, Cino❤️

Sunday Pause (Paws): The Butterfly And The Breeze

4 Replies

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and admire nature such as a beautiful butterfly or a fresh breeze that can do wonders for the soul .

To me one of the most relaxing things is to sit outside when there is a breeze. I’ll even close my eyes and just focus on it. There is something about it that is so comforting, not only to provide coolness when it’s hot out, but comfort for the soul.

Today is the second anniversary of my sister’s death and I remember when a breeze (and a butterfly) comforted me when I was grieving the loss. I wrote a poem about it.

The Butterfly and the Breeze

Their beautiful and colorful wings
Take them high and low, they are free
Fluttering all around us
It is not an uncommon thing to see

But I know on this one day
It was not just a butterfly
In my confusion and dismay
It was my sister stopping by

She flew by me then landed Continue reading →
