Day Thirty-three

For over 25 years my morning routine including contemplated and being reminiscent of how this text has been true in my life:

Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by name, you are mine.

when you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

And through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;

when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,

and the flame shall not consume you. 

For I am the LORD your God,

the Holy One of Israel, your savior.

~ Isaiah 43: 1b—3a

When I have been in deep depression or experiencing great anxiety or feeling unworthy, I have forgotten to include this text in my morning routine.  

My new caregiver, although doing an first-rate job, made a major blunder today: she left the door open and Sugar escaped outside. I hope she comes home when she is hungry. 

Earlier today Sugar got her paws on a roll of paper towels:

Later, Little Girl joined Sugar in her play:

One must look closed to see Sugar in the above photo: Little Girl has her wrapped in parts of the paper towel.

From a quick glance at the news, it appears that powerful winds in Louisiana have upstaged bags of hot air in Florida.
