WEATHERING THE STORM

In the NYC area we had quite a severe storm yesterday with winds that exceeded 50 mph. High winds brought down trees, caused accidents, knocked out power and even caused buildings to collapse. There was even a tornado watch in northern New Jersey. Before a storm comes there is quiet and this morning after the gusty storm there were blue skies as well as peaceful quiet in the area.

This is just how life is for us. Everything is just hunky dory and then bam we get slammed by a horrific stormy event in our lives. Think about it. After every disaster that we thought we could not endure we made it! We survived to have our peace and blue skies.

HOW TO GET UNSTUCK: TAKE LESSONS FROM OUR FURRY FRIENDS

Sometimes it feels as if we are in a rut and can’t get out of it. During those times we have to find ways to calmly deal with our circumstances and focus on the great things that are waiting for us ahead.

Take a look at how our furry friends deal with life when they are stuck:

DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER/THE POWER OF LOVE

I was wondering what to put in my blog this week and I came across this fabulous story that shows the intimate bond between people and animals. I also wanted to feature a cat in this post because I do admit that I have swayed more toward dogs in the past. The story below tells how a young girl in Istanbul saved the life of a homeless, disfigured cat. It highlights the exceptional goodness that resides within children and people all over the world. Please remember that each time you interact with someone – even the most difficult person.
