(Look for “Kicked out!” in the “Page Summary” on the side.)
Do you realize what a necessary part of everyday life “relief” is? How often in one day do you relieve yourself? (Er, maybe I should re-phrase that…)
Physical relief is one thing—like sitting down (on a soft chair!) after some hard labour, or helping someone with a heavy load—but mental relief is just as important, if not more. There are so many heavy things to think about these days. I’m always forcing this issue with the *people* around here, having to put myself ‘in their face’ in order to get them to take some relief-time. Mind off the computer, and on to the purring cat! If that doesn’t work, some hilarious cat-antics (chasing or sneaking up on something or other) usually does the trick. It doesn’t have to be comic relief, just a switch from complicated to simple, from man-made ingenuity to Boss-made beauty.
Thanks Boss, for giving me this job. And thank You that we can give the heavy stuff over to You, every time it collects… like all the goings-on over in
(I’m glad the soldier in this picture is pointing his gun *away* from the calico cat!)
