HAPPY AS A PIG...

I gave this planter to my Mother-In-Law one Christmas because I knew she would laugh out loud when she saw it, that she would fill it with flowers in the Spring and that she would love the humor behind it.

Cat in the Sunshine by Della Burgus

My Place in the Sun
by Della Burgus
Pastel, Image size: 8.5 x 10
Matted, Mounted and ready to frame

Nearly every cat I have ever known loved the sunshine. They will lie down any place that sunlight streams through a window, and when the patch of sun moves, they move with it. Cats are amazing creatures, I have never been sure they weren't transplanted here from another world. One minute they are rolling around on the floor, playing with a soft fuzzy toy, the next they are seriously stalking some invisible menace. They take a flying leap from the highest point in the room landing on their feet and walk away as if nothing extraordinary has just happened. Their mood can swing from cuddly and full of love to completely indifferent and superior in the flick of a tail.

I read once that the Lord created the cat so that people might know the pleasure of petting a lion. That may be true - I know that inside every soft little kitten is the heart of a lion.

I hope you find your place in the sunshine today, that you stay there as long as you need to for warmth, for light and for inspiration. Find joy in the simple things in life: the sun shining through a window, the purr of a kitty, the laughter of a child. And remember to be grateful...
