An idea for a mass purr day

Now there's always the autumnal equinox, a time of bridging when the day and
night are of equal length. I once practiced in a Pagan tradition where the
time of storms was honored at the equinox, and rituals done to strengthen our
passage through the coming tough times. (To explain, Western New York has a
rainy and thundering period in spring and autumn, and of course many of you
know of our famous blizzards!)

A full moon is always good too; symbolic of desires coming to fruition.

This sounds like a cool idea. I'd gladly give it more discussion!

Blessed be,
Baha

Lately it seems like a lot of us have posted important purr requests -
job and financial needs, missing kitties, health issues, etc. In fact,
it seems to me that a whole bunch of us are going through some majorly
troubling times now - more so than in the memorable past.

It seems to me that it might be a worthwhile experiment to select a date
and time (perhaps the next full moon?) when everyone who is so inclined
could, at the same time, do their thing towards addressing the purr
requests. Prayer, casting a circle, meditating, visualizing - whatever
each individual does - done as a simultaneous group activity might be a
very effective tool.

I would be willing to coordinate gathering the purr requests of those
who have issues to be purred over.

What do you all think? I realize it could be very difficult to find one
time that would work for all, since we're spread all over the earth.
Perhaps two or three distinct times, to allow participants from all over?

I'd like to hear your evaluations of the idea.

Amen. We all need to see and feel tangible expressions of support!

I'm all for a group purr, but I wouldn't like it if someone who needs
a little support from people who care about them felt that they
shouldn't post a request for purrs. I try to respond to most of them;
I know how a little expression of caring can pick someone up. So in
brief, I'm in favor of adding the group purr, not cutting the purr
requests that are being posted.

Regards and Purrs,

I like to receive feedback on my stories, too. Sometimes i get very
few and sometimes a lot. Sometimes the responses reply to a peripheral
part of the story and ignore the main part. You just never know what
is going to strike the reader. As for replying, I don't do much.
Partly from lack of time or I am brain dead after a hard day's work or
someone else has said exactly what I would say or say something better
than I could. But I do read and appreciate the stories. Sometimes I
really need the boost of a cute cat story. I will try to do more
replying, even if it is just a LOL!

Since Amber died, my house is too quiet and I miss the rascal that
inspired so many stories. Maybe when I am through grieving, I will
find more humor in my household of cats. Maybe my broken heart would
benefit from a group purr.

{{{{{{{{{{CATherine}}}}}}}}}} I know how hard it is to lose your best
friend. The best way to cope with the grief is to try to remember the cute
of funny things she did and the love she received while she was with you.

Hugs,

CatNipped

Hugs from me too. I agree with CatNipped, try to remember just the
love, the good times, and the laughter. Then the grieving should just
happen, not tie you up in it.

Regards and Special Hugs,
O J
