Monday meme from Pixie!
I was tagged by Mr. Hendrix (or was it Bendrix?) for the meme about balance in our lives. I am very excited because Daisy almost never lets me do any posts.
To participate, write a post about balance in life and link back to this post. Answer any or all of the following questions or simply share your thoughts about life balance.
How do you achieve balance in your life?
How do you achieve balance in your life?Now that I have a bad heart, balance is even more important than ever! I try to take very good care of myself and get plenty of rest and eat good foods. I love bananers, and I have some bananer pieces in my food every day. It tastes good.
What is your biggest challenge in balancing your life?
My sister Daisy is my biggest challenge! She always wants to play when I want to rest. Sometimes I have to hiss and growl at her to make her leave me alone. And sometimes my Mommie says to Daisy in a mean voice, "Daisy NO NO!" I like when that happens.
What are your priorities?
Spending quality time with my Mommie. I love getting chin scritches and ear rubs. I also must have regular visits with my cardiologist so I can stay as healthy as possible. I take my medicines every morning like a good cat. Sometimes I like to think about my friend Icon Baxter Bentley. We even went on a date once!
How have your priorities changed over time and why?

How have your priorities changed over time and why?Believe it or not, I used to be wacky and wild just like Daisy when I was younger. That picture below is me as a baby playing with a milk ring! Back then, my priorities were jumping HIGH and having fun. Now that I am older and I do not have as much energy, my priority is just to be happy. I am very lucky to have lived with cardiomyopathy for as long as I have, so each day I have left is a gift.
What advice can you share to help all of us balance our own lives?
Treasure each and every day! Eat lots of bananers.

Now it’s my turn to tag five others. I think everycat might have already been tagged! I am a little confused. So, I tag any cat who wants to play!

Hi Pixie.
What a great attitude! It's true... living with a chronic condition can really make a cat appreciate life. Also, as a senior cat myself, I can affirm that I like to rest a lot and get cuddles.
Pixie,
Those are wonderful ways to achieve balance in your life. We are glad that you have been able to live so long with cardiomyopathy! And we think that milk ring might be bigger than you!
Luf, Us
It is wonderful to look at those old photos and remember how absolutely wild and wacky we really were back in the day. I am so glad you did this meme Pixie. We have cardiomyopathy too but fortunately we have been able to stay off the meds for now... we'll see at our next appointment. You are right. we treasure each and every day!
We love you Pixie, this was wonderful to read!
Have a groovy day
~Princess
Wow - the cutest picture of you with the milk ring! It is almost as big as you! You wrote a really great list too and now we want to try bananas!
Purrrrs, China Cat & Willow
Great list Pixie! I knew you'd have great answers. I love the photo of you getting chin scritches. You look so happy! Mommy says the next time she gets some bananers at the store she wiill let me try one. I'll let you know how it goes.
Pixie, I didn't know. Me and Mommy are leaky-eyed. That happens to Mommy A LOT lately! She's not use to crying. Anyway, your reasons are valid for all creatures. You have a great outlook on life. I think you're very beautiful. If you every need a vacation to the country, you can teleport to my house. It's peaceful out here in the country.
Ah....I can nap well today seeing your gorgeous face. I can almost hear you purring!
Chase
Oh I am blushing an' blushing!! Thanks for mentioning me in you post about balance. I think we should go on another date!!!
purrs and purrs,
Icon
Excellent post on balance! Yes, every day is a gift, and should be treated like one!
Tara
It was good to hear what you had to say, Pixie. Unlike humans, no cat ever had to be taught to make every day count. I've been trying to teach my humans the same thing. I hope you have many days ahead to count, too...
We ♥ Pixie!
