I love this so so much. What a world it can be with more patience and kindness to others and ourselves. I recently had to get over a big anxiety to be able to enjoy a situation. I'm so glad I stuck it out. The last stanza of your stray cat poem, about letting someone settle in and be themselves, lives in my heart every day. Thanks for being vulnerable and talking through these big things with us.
