Two nights ago I got up from bed and searched for my cat, Mr. Poops. Forever the recluse, he was hiding under the chair and released a small yelp when I picked him up to bring him to bed with me. He is docile, not in a baby docile way, more like a sack of beans soaked in water docile. I put him under the covers with me, pet his head and within one minute he was asleep, purring with his little paws resting on my upper chest. I looked at him, and as cheesy as it may seem, I completely realized that this animal has nothing but pure love for me. No judgment, no qualms about me and he seemed the happiest just being there purring away sleeping. I lay there and not able to sleep as usual, I just enjoyed it and absorbed the moment to store away.
Today at work was stressful. Three hour meetings, countless people to talk to, lists to be made and way too much coffee. I went outside for some fresh air, took some deep breaths and thought of the moment from a couple nights before and instantly felt better.
