		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Simon is sitting in a quiet spot by the lake. His angel friend Ralphie sits 
by him and they quietly watch the ripples glide across the water. "you know 
how you always say Life is a Gift, Ralphie, well it really is, isn't it, and 
we should treasure every second of it." "Yes, " answers Ralphie " the gift 
of life is not a defined space or size..we never know when we are given it 
how large it is, how long it will last. But, you know, that doesn't even 
matter...for we can fill a very small space with all the love and life in 
the universe or, conversely, we can have  a very empty hollow huge space 
that is worth nothing at all. "   "ahhh...and then there is the ribbon 
around the gift" muses Simon 'that is sort of like the rainbow bridge isnt 
it...the link to the other side, the ribbon contains the gift of life..the 
two go together...they are part of each other. the ribbon contains all the 
memories and the joys and sadness of the life". 'Right "says Ralphie "and 
when you leave the container of life behind you cross over that ribbon 
bridge of memories and into the everlasting freedom of heaven, the rainbow 
bridge, where the pain and the suffering and the mistakes made in life are 
gone and you can only remember the joy you knew in life ..the love.. the 
happiness. And for those sweet souls who knew no joy in life there will be 
joy across the bridge. "  They sit there silently.
Simon sighs, " Several of my and Marybeths  dearest friends crossed the 
bridge this week, it has been a week of loss. "  "No Simon, you are  not 
quite getting it" says Ralphie "They are not lost, they have just completed 
their circle of life, their gift is complete. and now their angel selves can 
share that gift by spreading love. You feel love in so many ways...we always 
think love should just be fun and jolly but love is true feeling and 
emotion...love can be pain and loss and sadness because those feelings make 
the feelings of joy and gladness that much sweeter and stronger. Love is not 
easy, Simon, but it is not hard either...Love just is...all 
encompassing...love is what we are...love is life and love is beyond life 
too. So fill your "gift" to full capacity and wrap it in a ribbon with all 
the colors of the rainbow" .
  The swans glide by , slowly and there is a ripple wake behind them. Slowly 
it makes its way to the shore and laps ever so slightly at the feet of Simon 
and Ralphie. They turn and smile at each other.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ by Cali, Catmander Teal'C, Amber and Fridayand Alfie
The rules: Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write on their own blog about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your blog.
My seven facts about myself are:
1. I love the taste of toothpaste (doesn't that bring odd pictures to mind)
2. I do not like Jacquelyn, my sister cat and i attack her whenever I can get away with it.
3.I love to get up on the stove and see if there is anything to lick
4.I like to break the door in and sleep with my mom after she has thrown me out of the bedroom for romping on them too much.
5. I love to eat 4 times a day at least and i will tease for treats
6. I like to chase snakes in the garden even though my mom doesn't like me to do that becasue she likes them
7. I like to sneak outside if someone opens a door...I usually only get to go out in the garden in the morning, and i would never ever go out at night...coyotes
I am going to attempt to tag
Sadie
Jason
Skylar
Manna
Francis A Sinatra
Oreo
Bluie]]></content:encoded>
