My beautiful cat, Cassie. I love her because she’s stubborn and playful, and she never leaves my side!
If you are lucky enough to have a pet, take a few minutes to spend just with him/her today. If you come across another animal – perhaps a squirrel or a bird when you’re out on a walk – take the time to pause and watch him/her for a few minutes. Observing animals is a wonderful way to relax, and to appreciate the role they play in our lives, and the greater life of the earth. If this is all commonplace for you, take a photo of your loved animal, and share it on your social media telling people why you love him/her – and share the love!
