4paws, I am so sorry that I am just now learning of your situation! Especially after you sent me such lovely thoughts during Harvey. And I have lost so much resilience that it has taken me so long to get my head going back in the right direction. Yeah for power! I do understand how just getting through another day is a challenge. You are so right about how our ancestors lived.

So now all I can do is send good energy to you. That you are involved with helping others, especially our animal friends, says so much about you. There were some terrible things happening to animals here in Texas; I will never be able to understand how people can chain their dogs and leave them. I even know of stables where the owners left horses in fenced areas, and fencing prevented them from escaping. Those people should be prevented from ever having control over an animal's life. It breaks me that these things have happened here.

So I thank you for purposely extending your love and care to our brothers and sisters, feathered, furred, scaled, no matter how many legs. Life is precious and we all share this planet together. I have great love of all forms of nature, and thank you on behalf of those who can't use words to express themselves. But you already know the other ways they can express themselves! I also have a special fondness of goats and have shared my life with them for the last 34 years. Tell Emma, "buh", from me. Does she hate to get her feet wet, like my girls? I send her a bag of acorns, mixed in with some pecans and persimmons.

Take good care of yourself while you take care of everyone else! Take it day by day until you can sort it all out. I'm still not really making sense of all the changes, myself, but I do send hugs and love. You are very brave and can keep moving forward. I am with you, at least in spirit, and hope the rest of the season's hurricanes spin out in the ocean and cause no more harm. Nature is really being extreme with us, and we have to get back in balance, somehow, some way, soon. Stay safe 4 paws! Hugs for you and small comforts for your animal friends. In hope that the Equinox will return some balance to your life...Niki
