Reasons for Blogging No. 4

I'm a cat person.
I'm a mid range introvert ...is that why..
I love their containment, intuition ,mystery, their sensuality. 
and the fact they love sleeping in the warmest, cosiest place they can find.

I heard : what you see in the world is yourself reflected back.
That explains it then...
'tho I may appear aloof at times ( you just dont understand me ) I'm the affectionate kind of cat that will jump into almost any suitable lap 
after Ive checked out who you really are  or if you have cake.

During a very busy time in my life Lebowski cat would  slide himself under my hand, wriggle into my conversations and stupidly (I thought)  try to sit on my lap when I was in the bathroom taking a pee.
I now  interpret this bathroom behaviour as the intelligent universe trying to tell me to slow down, that this small black messenger-of-the-gods  was trying to tell me to relax,
take some time and my attention to smell the roses.

Now I have  a dog...I must have said yes... I know I said yes.. well anyway...
well here's Charlie


and yes, the universe is kind, he is a chilled, older guy, amazingly loving and wisely intelligent ..But I am thrust into the alarmingly extrovert  world of dogs.
Their sometimes inane exuberance and enthusiasm exaughsts me, their uncouth behaviour puzzles.. me but is that wise old universe now telling me something different...?

I need to get out more ..
It's true... ask anyone.. I need to be more social...  lets face it Ive been  hibernating ..
I need to reconnect with the wonder and joy thats lurking beneath
I need to take deep breaths of fresh air and play.
Im listening universe..
So Im getting my boots on and walking out into the world....metaphorically and literally.

Come on Charlie..get your very annoying high pitched squeaky squealing tormented ball
thing.....lets go ..
but just so you know..
Im not sniffing any bottoms....
