Mindfulness on #caturday
LittleBit loves snuggling on top of humans, in their lap or on their tummy. Much of the time, she lies down on her tummy so she can look around the room if any noise presents itself for inspection. Sometimes, though, she lies on her back and tucks her little front legs up over her chest. At those times, she looks like a little baby, lying there, ready for tummy-rubs!
She will often close her little eyes and just bask in the feelings, totally in sync with the bliss she feels during those times. It is so pecious and sweet!
Cats — and most animals, really — are definitely "in-the-moment" creatures. Perhaps they can teach us more than we can imagine. This reminds me of a meme my sister-in-law @doana told me about several years ago. I went looking for it online and found it. It serves as a perfect illustration of the difference between being mind-full versus mindful.

Sadly, the person who created this wonderful illustration did not sign it. There are so many sites online that are using this image that it is virtually impossible to cite the true, original source. Even blogs that try to cite the source give links to another blog that didn't say where they got it. However, one of the sites does have a fabulous article about mindfulness, so that is the one I will cite, for anyone interested in something good to read on the subject. Even though the article was written in 2016, the information therein is timeless:
Do you ever strive for mindfulness?

Every day is Caturday! 😃 And if it's not- it should be!
I look at the smile on Chads face here and think what a happy cat he was....We alwasy cuddled everywhere, but these were defintely our favourite times together laying in bed snuggling and he used to sit in the hallway and stare at me, meow to tell me it was time to go to bed too!
And what a happy mum I was. I miss my little man soooo much...😭

Cats are masters of chilling! So adorable :)
Perhaps...perhaps they have a thing or two to tell us.
I have three furbabies!
I'd love to comment with something intelligent, but the awesomeness that is LittleBit has melted my brain too much!
The last time I rubbed the belly of a cat, she bite me xD. I won't do it again.
Thanks for continuing to make Hive awesome.
Mind you I think my body tells me I'm due for another cat nap.
