My Favorite Quote, Today
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do!
Gee me and mom really believe that one! I learned to walk after my accident. I learned to be happy and have a fun filled productive life when they said I was nothing but a handicapped pathetic kitty who out to be put to death instead of given a chance to live and love and change the world. Mom showed them too. They said she was just a silly little kid who dropped out of 11th grade to raise a baby and that she’d never even be able to support herself, then they said she was too young and too silly to own her own business, then they said she’d never figure out how to turn this old corn field into a sanctuary and save thousands and thousands of lives. Just like mine!!! Mom and Me - we Believe!!!

Brrr it was a cold day today. Sunny, but cold. Haven’t heard how the Bake and Craft sale went today. Hope it was GREAT. Thank you to all who prepared for it and who ran it today!! We animals appreciate all you do for us. Very very much.
I tried baking muffins to sell once, but I kept getting side tracked licking the Fancy Feast filling off the spoon ......

Good Times in the News
Somebody shared this with mom and she said it could be useful information, so I’m sharing
This is from one of those widely-circulated emails, you may have already seen it, but it's valuable (and accurate) information.
Neurologists say that if they can treat a stroke victim within three hours, they can often totally reverse the effects of the stroke. The technology is there to completely prevent damage from a stroke. The trick is getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within three hours, which can be tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Always remember the '3' steps... S T R -- Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage within hours, when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
But a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE. Is their smile balanced and equal?
T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently -- i.e. It is sunny out today.) Can they repeat a simple sentence clearly?
R* Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. Do both arms go up equally?
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
Here's another, additional test for stroke: "Stick out Your Tongue!" Ask the person to 'stick' out her tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that can also be an indicator that the person has suffered a stroke.
Of course the very best way to avoid a stroke is prevention: adopt and adhere to a low-fat, plant-strong diet, protecting your arteries and veins from being damaged and clogged, which is why a stroke occurs.
But it's important to know how to spot symptoms of a silent stroke: it can mean the difference between life and death.
