Cats Life

This last week, well actually five days I have been sicker than I can remember in a very long time, now I am not about sympathy there are people far worse off than me in the world, I will get over my sickness in a few days this is not about me but rather my observations while being at home in bed.

We have two cats and I have had plenty of time to observe them, man do they live an odd life, as far as I can see it consists of sleep (a lot of it) eating, drinking, grooming themselves, along with the occasional bit of play. As I thought about their life and became a bit envious of the simplicity I realized that there was nothing to be envious about.

Why you ask, well, our lives are no different, they consist of sleeping, eating, drinking, bathing and some fun. The problem that we have is that we over complicate things because of the marvelous brain power we have been given. We choose to worry, to over commit ourselves, to sit on committees, to make are lives busy. If we didn't and kept our lives at the simplest form wouldn't our life be much like a cats?

As I watched the news online and heard the media talking about the local and world news I couldn't help but think of the worry it must bring to some watching. It made me think of some wise words that were once said, they went something like this "who of you can add but one hour to his life by worrying" the words are so very true, we need to get back to the basics in life, to worry less, to love more, to show compassion to others and to make things less complicated and make ours a "cats life".
