i didn't think it would be easy.   but I didn't think it would be ……what it was…….     Had gotten an email from  PAWS  Promotion of Animal  Welfare Society,  a non profit  organization whose mission is to prevent animal suffering    the local HUGE animal  spay and neuter  people,   appointments months in ahead…..vaccination  days….a prerequisite of the spay clinic  and we WENT.  me and Minnow.   Arrived within the appointed hours .   Ten minutes in and ended up 3 almost 4 hours   later until we signed out.   First come first serve.   But 

but    the time I spent.        those hours….all the others in the two waiting rooms and on the chairs outside.   An unexpected  gift.   on   this election eve when the anxiety rolls high,   there….at this Vet Clinic….was all.  ALL.   kind.   Kind.   Friendliness…neighborness.    GOODNESS.     People having to wait.  Having to sit together    and talking and laughing and exchanging.   We were great.    We were people,  having to wait,  having to sit together,   talking and laughing,  exchanging and when that was finally done,  there was 8 minutes to make it to the Butte County Hall of Records

I like to go THE DAY   but because of this  dog stuff….there I was and I made it IN TIME

tonight,   I HOPE

    What an inspiring vision of all the folks in the vet clinic. It was busy at our town hall today too. Same kind of vibe. People fundamentally wanting to get along. Sigh.

    What a wonderful post. I am supposed to be taking a 24 hour social media and news break as my anxiety level is over the top. As in didn’t get dressed yesterday. Decided that this one beautiful autumn day 11/5/24 will not come again and that I would just experience the joy of it. Without even thinking ( addiction) I looked you and Nancy up and even though it broke my intention for today, I am so grateful I did. Let’s give gratitude for all those helping hold up the sky❤️

    Sounds like a good way to spend this day. I am wondering what tomorrow may hold?
