Sometimes, Happiness Is Simple

If you’re a cat, happiness is the right size box… just small enough that you can fill it. Make sure you pick a box that lets you rest your head on the edge. You might miss something.

If you’re a knitter, happiness is a lot of yarn (cats like yarn too, come to think of it). And if you’re a writer, happiness is having a lot of yarns, or stories, to tell.

This is where I write about non-work stuff. Look here for stories about what makes life richer: family, cats, knitting, art, and hopefully, creative language play. Happiness shouldn’t be complicated.

    Nice blog! Did you ever see the picture of Charles DeLint’s cat in a similar position? And Tigre sitting at Sarah’s computer?

    Miss having a cat, but we have a rabbit in our yard so there’s compensations.

    I’ve seen Tigre, but I haven’t seen DeLint’s cat.
    I’ve been trying to take pictures of the baby bunnies in our yard (they live in the tall grass, and now I’m afraid to mow it). I could hold one cupped in one hand (if it were stupid enough to let me pick it up).
