They listen, they are honest, if you love them they always love you back, and they don't care how lousy you look.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’œ

even if a person doesnt have materials one is not limitied...this is a grreat time to design anything....a book cover to painting a wall or making a mural with colored glass or stones....common knowlge of coursed....nto my theory but....ways to keep going despite miitmtaitons.....planning and desinging is still progress.....whereas i used to think ...ahhh im dead in the water.....not really ....u...can have fun or create with anting or write or .........esp as the initial skethes or ideas say for a book or anthing acan be just sktches ...dont have to be master pieces....idea and evelthing evolves with titme and practice....who doesnt impove an idea or "dinner" with practice.......ways arund problems....

ie it doesnt have to be the "correct" answer....

in medicine..sure....same as driving down the road...there are rules and restricdtions....rightfully.

but in other areas.,,,,,,,,,creative problem solving isnt nec wrong just because its not the "socially correct answer"

same with mobiles......and pinyatas.....old ideas that still work are cheap and fun and creative....scrap books that dont dcost a fortune....

v rigid thinking...no it has to be done x way....only one way....

ya well thats not true

how many ways to sweeten some thing....not with cane sugar say if u out?

etc.....

how many ways to get pigment on sometign.....ie oops no paint....

what about colroed pencils? what about crayons? what about inks? food coloring?

Not sure how my post just about The Blessing of Pets turned into a big thread about men, women, music.... I was hoping for lots of wonderful comments about animals/pets to warm my heart because lately, a few key people in my life really SUCK....SO glad THEY don't live with me or I would hurl them out back in my fenced-in yard, and throw them a scrap of food once in a while. They can use the hose outside ..... Plenty of shady trees and squirrels for them to talk to.... then the squirrels would start knocking on my door, asking to come in because my humans are driving them NUTS. All animals stay inside with Me......๐Ÿ•๐Ÿฑ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿข๐Ÿธ๐Ÿก

To Dolphin14,

Absolutely not! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Your responses, and others' remarks are important. I "struck a cord" with my post that led down an unexpected road.... very interesting to me, and struck a cord with me because the handful of humans in my immediate life barely respond to me. They only want to "Take/Receive", but not Give. I am going to ignore them completely now for a while until they start wondering and caring. ๐Ÿ‘

Yes! None of them ever knew "love" until God brought them to me. It gets hard to walk down the hall, or in the kitchen sometimes, but I am well-trained and have learned how to go around, or step over!๐Ÿคฃ

Nothing better than the unconditional love of a pet, they teach us how to be better human beings.
