Wisdom From An Old Cat, revised

So, the Old Cat and I were talking this morning. 
We were in the kitchen, no one else was awake. 
I was enjoying my first cuppa and he was grooming. 
We came to the conclusion that Life Is What It Is: 
Run like mad from the oncoming freight train, 
And never neglect a nice spot of sunshine.

I appreciate the light wisdom from the Old Cat....especially, 'life is what it is.' I often I mutter those words to myself. Faving

Thank you. It's a (mostly) true story because I do talk to the dogs and cats that have blessed my life.
