Two Stoney Acres: Barn Kitties

Fav Quote

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts, too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin. ~anonymous

Barn Kitties

This is Coal. Super loving, would have been a great house cat. She just wants to curl up on your lap. She is best friends with Jordana's horse, Mac. She can reach Mac's water bucket from the steps and is often sharing a drink with Mac. She sits on the stall front by Mac all the time and Mac will touch her with his nose. And, once, I saw Coal get on Mac's back and curl up. I lifted her off because I was afraid Mac would startle. But Mac didn't. He acted like it was an every day occurrence . . . Who knows what goes on in the barn when we aren't looking!

This is Martinelli. So named because she came from our super neighbors, The Martinelli Family. She is the prettiest cat. Sort of tortoise and tiger all mixed up together. She purrs whenever you pet her. But, she's not the first one on your lap . . . a little more shy that the other two. But still very loving.

And this is Stripes. We brought her and a sister home from the stable on July 4th weekend. We called them Stars and Stripes. But Stars disappeared after a few days. We looked high-and-low but never found her. Stripes is the most outgoing of the kitties. Very social. Always climbing up the stall fronts to help feed the horses. Curls up on your lap whenever she sees an opportunity. She's just a real joy!

Motivation

Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drives into a corner, who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark.
Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

In the end, we decide if we're remembered for what happened to us or for what we did with it.
Randy K. Milholland

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work. You don't give up.
Anne Lamont

Inspiration

I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, but it comes from within. It is there all the time. ~ Anna Freud (1895 - 1982)

A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him. ~ Soren Kierkegaard

Advice to young women from Nancy and Ann Wilson, of the rock group Heart (as printed in the 09/19/10 Parade magazine):
Nancy: There's a great deal of pressure on young women to portray a hyper-sexualized image.
Ann: And I think they get told that if they do that they're going to be successful. When, in actuality, if they look like pole dancers, all they do is make themselves more disposable. So be true to yourself.
