Purrfection

My time continues to be dedicated to the joys of tax filing. If only filing were as easy as paying your fees at this Massachusetts library!

A Purr-fect Program- A Massachusetts Public Library Is Waiving Fines When Shown A Cat Photo

Through the entire month of March, fines will be cleared for anyone who shows up to the library and shows a photo of a cat. The library is already fine-free, so this is aimed to help those struggling with fines for book-related accidents.

For anyone facing a challenge today, two quotes:

“…very often a risk is worth taking simply for the sake of taking it. There is something enlivening about expanding our self-definition, and a risk does exactly that. Selecting a challenge and meeting it creates a sense of self-empowerment that becomes the ground for further successful challenges.”

— Julia Cameron, The Artist’s Way

“So do it. If you win, you win, and if you lose, you win.”

— Jake La Motta, Raging Bull

One of our neighbors is installing a home generator. Our area has relatively stable power but events like the Great Power Out-ening of 2022 do tend to stick with you, and they have had it.

Now they’ll be equipped for a future of ice storms and high winds and general grief from the joys of climate change.

We do have a portable generator, but in case of another long-term outage event it’s nice to know that we can pop next door for a cup of electrons.

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It’s just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.

Little Busy Today…

… but that’s ok.

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.
