Well, I chose this old selfie because it conveys the seriousness with which I am checking out the world from my present vantage point.
So much on my/our minds and from my view, the world has received a BIG wake-up call.
Take a deep breath and try to have a thoughtful and sane Sunday .
FYI.
Loulou, I’m with you on this. Too much bad stuff happening.
Well, we appreciate that, Mr Murphy, and mama puts in links that are, by the way, backed up with FACTS (see the references in Heather Cox Richard’s articles at the end of each blog – ALL the factual sources she uses that can be checked by the reader). Trump is going after free speech, free expression, free entrance by newspeople and jouralists to his would-be press conferences, and more.
The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry (Love this poem, Loulou. It’s my go-to when times are tough)
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
Bello! Merci, merci, and yes those moments are sacred. Thank you for this. Mama will try to remember it…
We love this Selfie – you look so relaxed and perfectly posed and there’s a lot of LOVE in those eyes for The Mama who was taking your photo at the time! It’s hard to stay positive right now but we are POSITIVE this is a super selfie dear Loulou.
Hugs, Teddy and Mom
Merci, dear Teddy. It is kitties like you, and mamas and papas like yours, that give us hope.
You may be serious, but it’s still a very sweet memory!
Yes, it is a sweet memory and mama has so many of them. There may be, of course, another “Loulou” kitty in mama’s and papa’s lives (I wrote ‘loves by accident…hmmm) but they need a bit more time. And kitties find mama, they always have…I’m working on having a kitty ‘find’ mama, haha.
We will Lulu we need to be brave and also look forward.
Thank heaven for Europe and their support for Zelensky. Thank heaven for decent anthros anywhere in the world. The USA has lost so much…..
Such a wonderfully purrfect selfie!

Merci, Mr T. I wish mama had some RECENT pics….sigh…but what she has are sweet memories, and another “me” could happen…..
May sanity, wisdom and joy prevail.
There is certainly much wisdom in the European Union’s response to the debaucle of Trump and the USA used to be a country of sanity. No longer run by sane anthros, it is vulnerable.
Oh Loulou. The world is indeed crazy right now, but that beautiful face has helped put me at ease. Mille mercis.
De Rien Ms M….mama wishes she could be more at ease but she’s working at it.
Beautiful selfie LouLou. Good thoughts to you.
Merci, Ms Mary. Mama loves selfie pics and we have quite a stash, haha.
We love your serious Selfie, sweet Angel LouLou😻Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day to you and your mommy too🐾😽💞
Merci, you sweet kitty-friends-of-everyone. You make us happy every day.
YOu and all the angels need to intervene. XO
THAT IS A PERFECT STRATEGY, Ms E!!! We’ll try to organize.
