Tips and Tricks

She was still groggy.  I saw her shift into the kitchen, listlessly.  The faucet quickly supplied what sounded like a very small glass of water.  The cats outnumber the dogs under this house.  I sat near what appeared to be the cat room looking in at the hissing occupants as they assumed I was there to scrap, yet all I wanted was for her to let me in so I could play too.  She keeps feeding me, but I have never managed to make it inside the house.  She slips out quickly and closes the door behind her, and that’s when I usually miss my opportunity.  One of these days she’ll get herself locked out of the house.  I hope it’s today.

As I hastily consumed the veritable smorgasbord of kibbles and bits that I had been offered, as I was every day this strange creature existed here, I noticed the panic on her face, and the lack of pants.  Trust me, even though I’m menacing and appear large as I perch on people’s window sills, I am adept, agile, and very, very intelligent.  I laughed inside.  It was a purrfect moment.  I had wished that she would lock herself out for not allowing me in, and she did.  HA! HA!

Why Do I Keep Forgetting So Much

by Jon Griffith

Last Sunday, while I was sitting in a money class, preparing to be coached on being a coach, I watched as one instructor mentioned to another that it would be helpful to give the coaches a list of preferred counselors to handle issues that we would not be qualified to handle.  Lawyers, marriage counselors, psychologists, [...]

We Are The Bucket

by Jon Griffith

I often use the metaphor to help me understand intangible truths and to help others understand me.  Some people get it, taking in the parallels that I draw, and others miss it completely.  Sometimes the metaphors are not well thought out, and other times they are, but every one of them goes through a series of [...]
