Happy World Kindness Day - Nov 13

Today we are celebrating World Kindness Day  - it is very easy to do - just do a small act of kindness for any being.  It all counts!

Be nice to your brothers and sisters

Today we are going to

Feed the birds (even the pesty squirrels)
Send a card to a friend who lives far away
Donate some pet food for Meals on Wheels - they provide food for pets also
Leave a good book somewhere for another person to find and enjoy

Hang out with our neighbor cat jack

These are just some easy simple ways to be kind.  Can you think of other ways?  I bet your humans do kind things all the time cuz they adopted you guys!

Have fun being kind today!

Fly Free Herman

Our dear friend Herman from Herman's Hideaway has left for the Bridge.  He had FIV and Feline Leukemia. His Mom said he just fell asleep and woke up at the Bridge this morning..  We wish he did not leave so soon but what a lovely way to go.

We will miss him very much but he has a good life with his Mom and his friends and family will greet him at the Rainbow Bridge.

Please so by to see his Mom.  His Gotcha Day was coming up soon too.

Squashies Makes her Journey to the Bridge Today

Our dear sweet friend Squashies from TK Furrever Home is crossing over today at noon.  She has fought very hard but cannot stay with her Mom Dee any longer.  It is time..  Please do stop by and say goodbye to her.

Time to Say Good-bye

As we lay our hands upon you, 

Before your final rest,

Our hearts surround to love you

And thank you for your best.

Our home you watched and treasured,

Our lives you truly blessed.

Lessening now your burdens,

We tend your tired bones.

Let us be your pillow,

Then wings to take you home.

Listen for God's calling,

Sweet promises of peace,

Old friend, leap to Heaven,

Suffering released!

Fly free sweet girl.  We will meet again.

Dona Nobis Pacem - BlogBlast for Peace 2012

Today, Nov. 4, 2012 is BlogBlast for Peace - an online event begun in 2006 by Mimi Lenox.  We are proud to say that this is our third year taking part.  Each one of us has the capability to bring peace into the world and it begins with ourselves.

“World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.”

― Dalai Lama XIV

"Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances."
- Mahatma Gandhi

"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."
- Buddha

"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us."
- Black Elk

May peace be with you.
