Like a Stone in a shallow pond, today hit me like that. I was the shallow pond and the day was the STONE!
There is a stray cat that I feed, and I couldn't tell you anything about his breed, or whatever. But I know tough when I see it, and that cat is hard. I respect him.
He is a small cat, but he has taken all comers and driven their furry asses over to the next apartment buildings. He holds his turf like a LION.
There is a lesson there for us all. I believe it is this; Be FIERCE in ALL that you do. Trust yourself, be good to yourself, and be true to you, and you can hold the turf of your spirit against anything this world might throw at you.
Be good to yourself, don't hang you head for anyone, and don't take any crap.
I dig you.
