Start my morning off thanking the good Lord for at least one blessing in my life. If I start feeling down during a day, I take a few “me” moments to reflect on those blessings.
Lately, not much helps.
There is a little mouse which has found his way in. I think it is the same one that came in for one night when it rained extremely hard. He left on his own. Now it is freezing out.
I have resisted evicting him. He probably has a longer life ahead of him than I do.
He seems apologetic about coming in uninvited. He doesn’t bother any groceries at all.
He comes into the livingroom late at night to watch me. I talk to him, and sometimes he runs for cover, sometimes he sits there listening to me.
I guess it just eases thoughts of death for me to know I am letting this little guy take shelter from the cold.
