What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

Yesterday, I saw a hawk chase and catch a starling, it was a sad, but an exciting thing to see.

When I first saw the hawk it was sitting on top of a high hedge, it was quite close, so I stood still, just amazed at it's beauty.

Then a few starlings came flying out of the hedge, and the hawk went straight for them, it caught one if them, then took it back to where I first saw it.

The rest was a but gruesome, but I suppose it's nature, I didn't like to see death so close yet again, but I suppose I never will never get that far away from it.
 
@Recovery4Me many thanks. She does get lots of cuddles, but hates being alone when I have to go out or sleep. She just wants me there and awake the whole time.

I can't get her anything to watch as she can't see that clearly now, and gets lost in the dark so I have I to leave the light on for her during the night.

I'm setting up a room for the new guy so he can settle in and we can do a phased introduction over the next few days. From what I've been told he's in need of kitty company as he currently lives with a big dog and keeps leaving home.
 
I feel a lot better than I did when I woke up. I am deciding to work on changing me and focus on my life and concern myself with the things to do in my life.

Have a family crises that put me into a tailspin but landing on my feet with a much better and more positive outlook which I am very contented with. Glad I was able to bounce back so fast. I feel a lot better now, more like me.
 
I finally turned the light out at 5.15am and then slept until about 8am - about right at the moment.

I had the room set for the new furry guy yesterday, but at the last moment his current owners decided that they didn't want to part with him. I can understand why, he is a truly beautifully friendly cat and fell asleep on the back of my shoulders when I went to collect him yesterday. They may change their mind so I left my number just in case.

Today I awoke with so many plans, my back felt better, so I though I'd make the best of it. Then I sat down to have my morning coffee and felt my back give way again when I stood up.

So now I am back to square one with it and wondering what next.

I am just getting so frustrated that I cannot plan anything as I don't know if my back will be up to it or not. I'm having to let friends down at the last minute, either that or they are having to plan their time around me not being able to keep up with a normal walking pace.
 
With you in that one, my back pain controls my life, but like you I try to make the best of the "better days" but even then, I have to pace myself.

As there is a limit as to how much mobility I have each day, I'm like a battery, I have make the power last over the whole day, other wise I run out of power?

My outside family is fighting. I wish they wouldn't. They can all have their own opinions, they don't have to get on the other because they don't share that. I'm in the middle. I do not like it. Anxious. Good news is my husband and I are going to go to the zoo tomorrow. I don't have to think of the rest of the family.
