The Creative Exchange

"That was such an adorable story"
I sniffed as I slice bananas in a bowl.

"People who go out of their way to rescue animals really inspire me!"
I sniffed some more as I topped my bananas with ice cream.

"I signed several petitions this week (against animal abuse)
but I received more happy rescue stories
and this really deserve a celebration!"
I muttered as I scooped my just reward.

"If I win the lotto I will donate to all the animal rescue groups!"
I shed a tear in between spoonfuls of my dessert.

"Of course, if I keep on eating like this whenever I am in this mood, I will need all the money to rehab myself!" I exclaimed in desperation.

My sister Luchie rolled her eyes as she listened to my daily woes.
Luchie has silently indulged her youngest sister (me!)
simply because Luchie love animals too
and Luchie knows that whatever I eat
I do not gain weight!

"I am sick but not in pain"
I turned to my dog Sweepy.
"And I am sick of all your angst!"
I thought I heard Sweepy muttered this.
But I am not so sure.
He looks asleep nearby.


SIDELIGHT: My week is not complete without having to respond to all animal stories on my mail. From help in adoption to rescue work. I always tell people that I have very limited means and resources to help them all except for 'healing lights' (I can not heal but I can send pain away for you to be able to heal yourself!) and banging on the door of people and institutions to take action.

To all of those who do rescue work (even feeding stray animals on the street or holding them with affection is already a MAJOR act!) and for those whose lives are richer and more meaningful as they cry, panic and take action on behalf of all abused and animals in pain around the world, this post is for all of you.

You make me cry in joy and inspire me to be good.
And you make my eating binge hearty and heart-filled!

For Elizabeth G , Peter A, Alya, DrJ, PAWS, Lilli and DrGeof, Suzanne C, and Joyce (May Suzie reach her forever homes safely and soon!) My prayers are always with all of you!

What a beautful post, dear Friend.
You are truly an inspiration, and such a kind soul.

Thank you so very much for being a part of The Creative Exchange.

Have a wonderful day, and I will still be seeing you in "Blogland!"

I understand the love of animals, especially dear dogs. I hate to hear of animals hurt. Here in Maine there is very good adoption rates. Our local shelter actually has made connections in several locales in Southern USA-where animals are left unattended, un-spade or neutered and puppies abound.
My Tula is a rescue-and I'm all the better for that.
Extra pats for Sweepy from me.

What a beautiful and creative post! I am happy to meet you Lui and I am your newest follower :)

Thanks for your lovely comment on my Weekend Flowers post. I am on a VERY short forced blogging break as we are moving house. I look forward to reading more of your blog when I am back doing what I love most - photographing and blogging :)

Such a lovely post Lui! ♥

You are such a kind *loving animals person*, you'll have many animals' heart by your side - in this life and beyound this life.. :)

We used to give a wild cat food over some years, every night we walked out with food.. and water! in spring a lot of hedgehogs appeared.. hm.. guess why then.. ;)
Now it's a long time since we saw that cat.. when I didn't see the cat more, I was sad..

Pusa was a *rescue* cat.. found in a box in a park....

The other cats I used to have in Oslo were also *rescued* from a hard world..

Have a nice day! Here it's a sunny day! :)

The bananas with the cream looks yummy, and you sure deserve it Lui! :)
