#127: What do you owe yourself? More time to relax. I have a tendency to equate relaxing with laziness.
#128: What would your ‘priceless’ Mastercard-style commercial be? Case of cat food to lure cat into open: $10. Cupcakes for friend after borrowing her cat trap: $5. New work shirt after old one is puked on by sick cat: $15. Vet visit, immunizations, deworming, a bath, and more cat food: $150. Rescuing an abandoned cat and giving it a new home: priceless. Both of my cats are rescues (that’s Max snoozing up top and Jiao, bottom, just a few days after we got her).
#129: Can you think of a time when impossible became possible? I think most things seem impossible until they’re done–flight, the computer age, a cure for polio, etc.
#130: Why do you matter? Because I’m the only person who can be me.
#131: How have you changed in the last five years? I’d like to think I’m more confident in who I am now then I was at 20. I’m also definitely smarter about life (money, health, relationships, etc.) and I devote more time to learning, rather than simply being entertained. I’d also like to think that I’m a kinder, more peaceful person now.
#132: What are you sure of in your life? That we all have a responsibility to pitch in and speak up whenever possible. Whether it’s just being kind to a stranger, starting an anti-littering campaign in your community, or joining a global mission (like the fight to end human trafficking), we all have something we can do, however small, to make the world a better place. Don’t turn away because you think you can’t do “enough”.
#133: When you think of ‘home,’ what, specifically, do you think of? My family. I don’t really think a place can be a home unless there is someone there who loves you.

#127. Relax is always good. We all need to rest or pamper ourselves every now and then.
#128. Your cats are so lucky to have you. They look happy.
#129. Challenging the impossible is the best way to make it possible.
#130. Because my family, kids, and job need me.
#131. I’ve become disconnected and less social. I don’t trust people the way I used to.
#132. I can’t be sure of much unless it’s a fact of life.
#133. Family, kids, shelter, comfort food.

I like your response to #129! Hadn’t quite thought of it like that.

Your answer to the Mastercard question is just awesome! Your kitties are too cute. Pets are the best and the experience of being a pet owner really is priceless. :)

Interesting questions. I still haven’t finished doing the 99 questions thing I was doing off Katrin’s blog from awhile back. I think I got through 30 lol. This might be interesting to do at some point.
For the home one, I think many people would agree with you. For me personally, having people there that love me isn’t necessarily necessary. I thought of Florida as home when I lived there even when I didn’t know anyone, but I loved it there, so I guess for me that’s the requirement. If there’s love of some kind, whether it’s from people or from a feeling about the place, it can be home. As it is, now home is where the Army sends us.

I don’t think I finished those questions either! It’s hard to do so many. :P
