Wake up Kitten.

@sheba2011,
Good Morning. Glad to hear your tooth isn’t hurting like it has been. You have a high pain tolerance dear Lady.
Been helping hubby with landscaping the past 2 days. Almost finished. Been getting rained out in the afternoons. Raining now and cooled down to 67 deg. Jewel and Little D are so frisky because of the cool weather 😀.
They are seeing new critters and were curious of the Elk and wanted to chase a fox 🦊.
That’s me and my Leo, (BD 8/8). So true a statement ❤️
Hope your Tuesday is a good day and you and Poppy can enjoy a nice evening walk.
Loved the tribute to Frank Sinatra. I thought of my Mom. She loved him and Dean Martin.
Sending royal hugs to Queen Sheba and her little Prince Poppy.👑

Hi Sheba;

Packing for four nights is just as awful as packing for most trips. However, no checked luggage is a joy. Will call the Sarasota Outlet to make sure they are still open. I do not expect to find much more than a fairly empty store.

I am looking at a load of clean clothes that need putting away. Then, I will finish my packing with Heidi’s and Marla’s and other goodies. All shoes are white or a member of the beige family.

My husband just told me I have a total of 3,000 miles on my car which is not much for seven months. We will take his tomorrow. He trades in. For a new lease after his new one arrives from overseas. Lot of cars on this thread driving to and fro.

How is the tooth?

Amy

Sending love and good thoughts to you. Ari will be in touch with the Kittens.

The Message of Pain

A warrior perseveres in the face of adversity, stands up for their beliefs, and speaks in the service of those who cannot.

When we feel pain, our first impulse is often to eradicate it with medication. This is an understandable response, but sometimes in our hurry to get rid of pain, we forget that it is the body’s way of letting us know that it needs our attention. A headache can inform us that we’re hungry or stressed just as a sore throat might be telling us that we need to rest our voice. If we override these messages instead of respond to them, we risk worsening our condition. In addition, we create a feeling of disconnectedness between our minds and our bodies.

Physical pain is not the only kind of pain that lets us know our attention is needed. Emotional pain provides us with valuable information about the state of our psyche, letting us know that we have been affected by something and that we would do well to focus our awareness inward. Just as we tend to a cut on our arm by cleaning and bandaging it, we treat a broken heart by surrounding ourselves with love and support. In both cases, if we listen to our pain we will know what to do to heal ourselves. It’s natural to want to resist pain, but once we understand that it is here to give us valuable information, we can relax a bit more, and take a moment to listen before we reach for medication. Sometimes this is enough to noticeably reduce the pain, because its message has been heard. Perhaps we seek to medicate pain because we fear that if we don’t, it will never go away. It can be empowering to realize that, at least some of the time, it is just a matter of listening and responding.
