Happy National Answer Your Cat’s Question Day, everybody!
After I answered my cat’s question this morning (“Could you please feed me NOW?”) I found some information online about National Answer Your Cat’s Question Day.
.
Why does that website assume that I won’t actually be talking to my cat?
Here are my other images (and some cat questions) for National Answer Your Cat’s Question Day.

When my son, Aaron, was home for the holidays, he said he wanted to hear a song called “Don’t Kill Yourself,” written by me. When I quickly wrote the first verse and chorus, he encouraged me with valuable feedback.
“Don’t kill yourself,” is something I would like to say to so many people, and perhaps an effective way to do that is through song.
.
Don’t kill yourself, because there are so many reasons to spend another day with us.
Even if you’re not that happy, don’t kill yourself.
Thanks to all who are here for this “Don’t Kill Yourself” post, including YOU.
Coincidentally, I recently threaded the needle to restore a ripped off tail to one of Joan’s favorite mouse toys.
I have to admit it took me a lot longer to literally thread the needle than in times past. I’m trying to metaphorically thread the needle between blaming this on my age or the tiny-holed needles in that sewing kit.
Thinking ahead to the mid-term elections, I hope my country can thread the needle between self-interest and justice for all. Otherwise, we’re all going to get stuck.
Should we thread the needle by finding a path through the rest of today’s post?

In my way, I tried to make that definition of “way station” a way station (an intermediate stopping place) within today’s post.
I think it’s helpful, here and now, to think of every thing we experience — alone and together — as way stations on our way to where we are going.
Do you see any way stations in my photographs from yesterday?
As I’m moving among way stations, I often listen to The Way Up by the Pat Metheny Group. Here‘s the Opening and Pt. One of The Way Up from the way station YouTube:
On your way today to other way stations, I hope you spend some time listening to The Way Up and also in the way station of the comments sections, below.
No matter what the way station, I am grateful to be there and grateful for YOU.
Since last month, when somebody told me that something I wrote didn’t pass the “Why should I care?” test, I’ve cared too much about that comment. I’ve tried to let go of caring so much about that by
I not only care, I express my caring with gratitude at the end of every post. Thanks to all who helped me create this “Why Should We Care?” post and — of course! — to you, my caring readers.
It’s almost totally natural for me to remind you that you can click on any photo to enlarge it.
I posted one of those photos yesterday on Facebook with the caption “Almost totally natural.” It’s almost totally natural for me to ask you to guess which photo that is.
It’s almost totally natural that over four million people have watched that video.
It’s almost totally natural for me to ask for feedback and to look for new ways to thank those who help me create these blog posts and — of course! — YOU.
