January 24

When the weather turned cooler last fall, my kitty decided that she'd spend her evenings cuddled up next to my feet each evening.

She's quite the nice little foot warmer, and though I can't touch her without immediately washing my hands (thanks to a recently-developed and relatively severe cat allergy), it's nice to know she's nearby, needing me to be nearby.

I think God gives us furry friends and people friends. And she's been a mainstay for me for nearly 15 years. That's a blessing indeed.
