Enjoy the Process
Good morning!
This morning, as I work through my morning writing, my three wildlings have each come in for attention, cuddles, and to try their best to instigate playtime. The first to interrupt, Afina hopped up and sat on my journal and meowed to be picked up and cuddled. I obliged, enjoying the nuzzles and purs, and noted that Miss Fancy Pants is becoming more vocal by the day.
Teddy appeared after Miss Fancy Pants hopped down with his gentle little foot taps on my shin. He is known to be persistent about being picked up by springing hop jumps, so he is paw tapping your knee. His favorite is being tucked into my robe, seated upright, with his head poking out, watching me work.
Baby Dog is in play hound mode. He gently places his Green Bean on my table and tap dances backwards, beguiling you with his eyes to engage in his antics. His beseeching look meets your gaze, then looks back and forth until you cave and are enticed into play. Once you reach for the coveted toy, he braces in anticipation for the throw and his favorite, the victory laps.
This is a classic example of most of my morning as I work through my routine. I would not change a second of it. I love each one dearly and cherish their joy and antics. So, the short and sweet of it today is a gentle reminder to slow down and enjoy the process, interruptions and all.
