Wrapping yourself in things that make you smile



This photo of Tinker snoozing on the ottoman was supposed to go in the post below. As I was resizing it, I realized she was sleeping on a Native American rug that my college roommate Leslie had gifted me...oh, perhaps 27 years ago.

I have so many lovely things around my home that make me smile. I'd like to think I'm not a possessions-based person (I was happy enough in a beat-up old trailer as long as it was in the country with good neighbors), but as life goes on, you accumulate things and cannot help but treasure them when they come from people you love and from friends who care. It is one of the benefits of life passing, this gathering of memories in both mental and physical form.
