    The picture of the big cat describes exactly how I feel this morning. 🙂
    I like your answer to number 1. I think a lot of people were assuming that when the calendar went from 2020 to 2021 there was going to be some magical transformation.

      It’s the same each year. Always has been and always will be. No magic in going from one year to another. 🙂

    Memories of Eric and Flynn says:

    What a lovely snoozy photo! Great fill ins, particularly #3. Probably for a different reason for me as when I was first diagnosed in 2011 I didn’t think I would see old age, but here I am 10 years later!

  4. Deborah – South San Francisco, CA – I am a Wise Woman who has been on a spiritual journey for many years. My wisdom was not gained through a higher education but through the University Of Life and all the insight, knowledge gained through the pain of trials and tribulations on the path of weeping to healing. Though I have come a long way, I am not done yet! I still have much wisdom to gain, more growth through pain, and the beauty of spirit that come by continual shedding of the old to receive the new! Sweet Blessings!
    Deborah says:

    That big kitty looks so content even though its laying on a hard log! I love your answers to the questions! Have a fab Friday and weekend Sandee! Hugs! 🙂 <3

  15. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
    Wing Commander Basil & The B Team says:

    Our momma feels just like that big cat today! Happy weekend Sandee and supurr fill-ins today! XOX

    So far 2021 is going OK for me. (Oh… except for the motorcycle accident 3 weeks ago)
    A book (movie or song) title that best describes my life is Sponge Bob Squarepants. Couldn’t think of anything serious
    3.My friend & his Dad coming to Mass this morning after I invited him yesterday was a pleasant surprise. (When he said where he was going his Dad said that he wanted to come too)
    I learned that guessing a woman’s age is a recipe for disaster.

      Thanks for playing along and I laughed out loud at #4. Not a wise thing to do at all. If you guess to high you’re in trouble. 🙂

  22. Cleo says:

    I like your It’s a Wonderful Life answer. Dad says he’d never seen that movie before until he met mom, and they’ve watched it every Thanksgiving for a hundred years now.

  23. Rosey says:

    Pretty for sure, but that’s a kitty I don’t want in or near my house. 🙂

    So far 2021 is moving pretty fast.
    A book (movie or song) title that best describes my life is ‘Working 9 to 5 (but it’s really more like 5am to 9 pm, lol, even on weekends).
    Teaching this year was a pleasant surprise. I just love it again. I guess last year was just a bad year.
    I learned that taking a low paying job is a recipe for disaster, lolol (especially if you DO end up really liking it, which like I said above, I do this year. It feels good to make such a positive difference in lives, every single day).
