squirrel good morning meme – Curious as a Cathy

What does Grumpy Cat and COVID have in common? Absolutely nothing but it sure does make great material for this edition of Friday Sillies! Ha-Ha! Yes, I’m silly, I know. Now, enjoy your dose of weekly humor brought to you by Dr. Cathy.

I borrowed this image from the Saturday Evening Post newsletter.

Linking with Friendship Friday! Look who’s on Vogue! Alright, I can’t fool you. A friend shared the online photo editor PhotoFunia and I created this fun picture, then I added the personal text to the magazine cover. 😉

Ellen at 15andMeowing and Lorraine at Four-Legged Furballs share each Thursday four blank statements for us to copy and paste to create an entry for their Friday Friendly Fill-ins. Rounding things out this is how I filled in the blanks.

1. If you are looking for happiness, try looking to yourself, instead of your peers. You can’t base your happiness on what others can give. You must first find it within for true contentment. I learned years ago, you can’t rely on anyone to make you happy if you can’t make yourself happy. It’s good to share your life with someone and it’s wonderful having the support of others but humans often disappoint. People come and go. They are judgemental and unforgiving. One’s worth is equal to another, we have to look past the criticism to see the value within and say, I am good enough. Circumstances or people making you feel this way are often temporary. For me, pushing through it with a grateful heart fills me with peace, replacing sadness with hope.

2. Jesus fills me with hope. No matter what this life throws at me, I know with Jesus’ light I can see past the storm to a brighter future in Glory!

3. It’s only a matter of time before this COVID-19 mess blows over. Let’s see things shape after the election. Something tells me this is partially connected, but it’s definitely related to politics on a global level. What’s the surest way to bring about a one-world government then to collapse the economy of all free nations and drive people’s fears totally out of this world crazy? Yep, a pandemic is just the element needed.

4. Just about anything that’s not political is my favorite conversation topic. In our society one can’t express her opinion without someone getting their feelings hurt and if you don’t agree with the other person then the fall out is your fault not the other person’s. People can’t be happy anymore unless they and everyone else is miserable.
