Blue Plate Blog- 30 Days of Peace Day 17- Animal Instincts

Animals are better than people most of the time. People are really letting me down these days. It’s partly my own fault for having expectations that people will reciprocate the encouragement and support I try to show others. I should have learned my lesson by now but I haven’t and today I am suffering again from a case of disappointment. Shame on me. But you know who doesn’t let me down? Animals. Yesterday was Sapphire’s birthday. Having a pet is a joy and more often than not a stress relief. Now granted, Sapphire is a shifty Siamese and can often ignore me or otherwise neglect me so she doesn’t necessarily have a 100 percent success rate. But as a whole, animals bring me a lot of peace. There are some days I want to run the opposite way of humankind and immerse myself in a world field with snuggly, non-judgemental, accepting, and affectionate kitties, puppies, and bunnies. If you need some peace today- spend some time with an animal- bet you will feel better. Have a peaceful day.
