Day 5
Today is day 5 of the “My life is Good” challenge.
I am to post photos that bring me joy, because we all need to choose joy right now. I encourage others to do the this as well, for the same reason.
No explanations are necessary on any images you choose, but when reading other people’s blogs and looking at their images, I always love to read about the stories behind the photos. So, for the next 10 days (or, at least, my next 10 posts), I’ll be doing the same, even if it is something small in my life that brings me joy.

When my Missy Kitty first came into my life, she was just a kitten. Maybe 2 months old-ish? She was a rescue and it’s hard to tell who rescued who.
Missy got very, very sick about a month later. It turned out to be late stage kidney disease. She was given no more than 3 months to live. I was told to give her subcutaneous fluids and a special diet. She was miserable and, well, technically, in hospice at this point. I chose to take her off the “subQ” fluids and give her any gooshy food she’d eat. Just love her, keep her happy and comfy. Oh, and fresh catnip mixed with valerian root every now and then, too. She loves that! 😉
Today she’s 10 years old, and still astounding her vet. She brings me joy every day. 💜
