“Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter — if you let yourself bloom again. Let these years be your treasure years.
You don’t need fame. You don’t need perfection.
You only need to show up — fully — for the life that is still yours.”
~Patricia Routledge

#BlackCatAppreciationDay 🐈⬛
This is our precious KC. He was funny, curious, playful, affectionate & loved copying his older brothers. He had many health problems & always recovered until Cancer 6 yrs ago.
Each night I’d hold him, kiss him & tell him how proud I was of him 🐾🐈⬛

This is Afrika.
My first born. He was my little protector. Afrika and I lived on our own and travelled together. Each morning he’d wake me with butterfly kisses.
After he died, I could feel his presence - wind blowing through the trees.

" I’ve learned that what truly matters… takes time."
There are no shortcuts that don’t cost double later.
If you have to force something to fit — it probably wasn’t meant for you.
And when something is truly meant for you…
you don’t have to chase it.
It finds you -in peace.
