Yes, I continue to torture my cat for the purposes of my blog (well, not really). There was a repair man at my apartment today and I needed to lock my cats on the balcony for an hour while they worked. Two of the cats enjoyed it, the third was NOT happy – as the photo shows. As I watched my screaming cat, I thought of how often we do the same in relationships in our lives. How many time have you wanted to scream at someone to let you in???

Have you ever noticed that sometimes the most simple gestures can be so profound? Have you ever had a stranger brighten your day with a wave or a smile? Recently we were driving home from shopping and our car pulled up next to a very worn down public bus. In the window next to our car was a mother and two young girls.
