I don't have as many dog stories but I do tons of cat stories. I've been blessed with some interesting cats who do make sure I know when they need or want something. Yeats was notorious for when I was on the computer, and he wanted attention he would lay right across the keyboard. I could move him but he would come right back. Once I snuggled with him then he would lie down beside me. Macavity when he wants to eat, taps your leg repeatedly. And when I ask what do you want he goes to his food dish. If I don't get up immediately, he will come back and tap my leg repeatedly.
I agree animals are far more intelligent than we realize.
I tend to overthink and second-guess. I try to let go. Moving on from past mistakes (whether or not they were truly mistakes) is key for me to meet new challenges and make new mistakes. *sigh*
I've lived with people who had needs. Sometimes it worked out; sometimes life intervened.
My favorite OT book is Ruth. I truly believe that kindness matters.
I've been in the process of taking back my house for awhile. Actually made some major progress in January. It is always a work in progress with an older house. I'll cheer for you as we both clean.
Are you irritated easily? What do you do when you are feeling irritated?
It honestly depends on my mood or if I have missed a dose of my antidepressant. I have a depression disorder. I also have issues with anxiety. Now this does not give me an excuse to act out. However, it does help me to understand why I react the way I do sometimes. Some days, I get on my own nerves. LOL I can't be perfect all the time. Ha-ha. Yes! I try to do what's right, but I am far from perfect. I still sin willfully and accidentally. Anyway, back to irritation. It is very hard to fight your emotions when you are irritated. I just have to take a few deep breaths at time and start over. Or I have to remind myself why that is not the legacy I want to leave. I pray. Sometimes, I force myself to praise God even when I don't feel like it. It reminds me who is in charge and changes my focus from me to him. Be angry and sin not and don't let the sun go down on your wrath is a Bible verse that is also in the back of my mind. (Ephesians 4:26)
