Lazy Sunday thoughts

susandennisI'm crossed legged on the bed with hot tea and NPR. The cat is napping stretched out along my thigh under the comforter. I could kill many hours this way. It's a lovely way to start a day. I am meeting ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
machupicchu for lunch and a movie and even working in a bit of a walk to get there, I don't need to leave for a couple more hours.
I keep thinking about Cathy's dying in her sleep. She lonely and really wanted a relationship with a man. She had online friends - lots - but not so many face to face. Her job was good but I got the feeling that it wasn't terribly fulfilling. She felt like she was stuck in Minnesota because her townhouse would not sell for even as much as her mortgage. She had recently made some new friends and spent a very fun weekend in Las Vegas and was looking forward to seeing River Dance for which she had just gotten a ticket. She enjoyed occasional visits with her ailing mother and her father in Canada and was often joined there by her sister. And one night she goes to sleep and never wakes up.
I have often said that when I go, this is the way I want to do it. While it seems a little like saying your piece and then hanging up without waiting for a comment or rebuttal, it seems as if you keep current, it's still the best way. I hope her family can find peace and comfort in the 47 years they had her.
Ooops, Travis decided it was time to get up. Bummer, I was enjoying his furry warmth. Guess it's time to get up and get showered and get ready.
And I'd like to add a thank you to my brother for brining his journal to life. I see him on the webcam every day and that's great fun but seeing goat pictures and getting little snippets of passing thoughts is even more fun. So, that's what I'm grateful for today.
