*sung to the tune of 'Blue Monday' by Fats Domino*
I've good news. Today I talked to my landlady. (The nice one. ^_^ Hee.hee.) And she said that they could do the pet deposit in 2 payments. 😊
So I talked to my Neighbor who gave me this flyer. And she said she would love to go with me Saturday to look at the Cats. I researched thee adoption fee online. It looks like it's going to be about [ $15.00 ] . 😄✊ Which makes NOW the best time to look. (^.^)
Now, I know I haven't been having much luck in gaining a kitty. But this time I'm going to try for a much older feline. One that... should be... more independent. And not as needy. So that it will be easier for me to care for 'em. One things for sure. If this one doesn't work out... I'ma think I'll just forget ever trying again... 😢
But we'll see what happens. Fingers crossed, eh? ✌
You know... I used to be afraid of losing my mind. To me it was like the worst thing that could possibly happen to a person. Aside of course from being tortured and killed... or starving. Now that I think about it, starving would be just as bad... But anyways. I used to pray to Jehovah. Please oh please, don't ever let me lose my mind! I... I don't want to be some kind of psychotic laughingstock for modern society...
But then I read this... And Mr. Carnegie's words... well... let's just say. Losing your mind... well. . . it doesn't sound so bad... 😏
Excerpt: "Some authorities declare that people may actually go insane in order to find, in the dreamland of insanity, the feeling of importance that has been denied them in the harsh world of reality.
There are more patients suffering from mental diseases in the hospitals in the United States than from all other diseases combined. ( \ Circa 1936 / !)...
...Why do these people go insane?... Nobody knows for sure. But he (a head physician of his time) did say that many people who go insane find in Insanity a feeling of importance that they were unable to achieve in the world of reality. Then he told me this story:
I have a patient right now whose marriage proved to be a tragedy. She wanted love, sexual gratification, children, and social prestige; but life blasted all her hopes. Her husband didn't love her. He refused even to eat with her, and forced her to serve his meals in his room upstairs. She had no children, no social standing. She went insane; and, in her imagination, she divorced her husband and resumed her maiden name. She now believes she has married into the English aristocracy, and she insists on being called Lady Smith.
And as for children, she imagines now that she has a new child every night! Each time I call on her she says: 'Doctor, I had a baby last night.'
Life once wrecked all her dream ships on the sharp rocks of reality; but in the sunny, fantastic isles of insanity, all her barkentines race into port with canvas billowing and with winds singing through the masts."
- Dale Carnegie
Makes insanity... sound more like a comfort now. For those... whose lives got to be too much for them to handle. I often think... even if something does go wrong with someones brain cells, God put a natural defense mechanism within us all. One that puts us into a better place. {^_~*}
