Good morning & welcome to Whiskers Wednesday
If you wait until you feel ‘better’ to start living, you might be waiting forever
Go live your life
Do it sad
Do it anxious
Do it uncertain
Healing doesn’t always come before the experience.
Sometimes the experience is what heals you
If you wait until you feel ‘better’ to start living, you might be waiting forever
Go live your life
Do it sad
Do it anxious
Do it uncertain

The Second Window. Once upon a time, there was a green-eyed Tabby Cat who ran a bookshop by the Christ Church gate of Canterbury Cathedral. It was a marvellous place, four stories high, with treasures on every shelf & free buttered toast, plum cake & hot sweet tea for all who visited.

Last Christmas Ich gave thee myne hearte
But the verye next daye ther came a wolf,
Wyth sinews of whispers - quiet as frost -
And the wolf stole myne hearte, fled
To a tower out of tyme biyonde all the stars.
Seek now myne hearte,
Return it within a yeare and a daye:
Thys ys thy queste

Thys ys thy queste

Small gardens can boost biodiversity just as much as large ones – and when little green spaces join together with others, it creates a network of wildlife-friendly areas that benefits many different species.
