Friendship

I think one of the many ways God showed us He cares about us was with the creation of cats. You come home from a long, hard day, and when your cat comes to greet you, you tend to forget about the problems and feel relaxed. A few months ago, I was very sad one night. I went out to the backyard to get some fresh air. It was late. I must have left the door open because right when I was about to burst into tears, Florence (the cat on the right) came out and brushed against my leg, and started circling around me. I patted her small cute little head for a few seconds and then she sat next to me. I didn't feel lonely anymore, and sometimes that's all it takes to change your perspective, in a good way...to know you're not alone. Just knowing you have a friend close by gives you the strength you need to face your problems with dignity. Epicures says, "It's not so much our friends' help that helps us as the confident knowledge that they will help us." I couldn't agree with him more.
