Lucky my cat

Lucky is a young cat I befriended over the summer. I caught a glimpse of him last winter in the snow and I set my mind to care for him. Within not even a week of feeding him and gaining his trust, Lucky rewarded me by trusting me. He eventually jumped in my lap and let me pet him. I felt "lucky" and felt also obligated to care for him back. When I found him, he was malnourished and had two bald spots on his head as well as various scars on his body. I rushed him to the vet and a few days later, I had a new cat named "Lucky". Truth be told, I am not good with names and my cousin suggested "Lucky" as she felt he was lucky to have crossed path with me. On the other hand, I felt it was appropriate as I felt I was "lucky" to have him come into my life. He is such an affectionate cat, from first night, he let me pet him and he closed his eyes at me... I came to learn, it is a sign of trust for cats. He gets along great with the dogs and seems to act more like a dog than a cat in my opinion. He is so sweet and like my dog, Curley follows me everywhere. My spouse even complained the first week that he was meowing when I would leave. He definitely disarmed me and gained my love: unconditionally. There is not a day, I am not thankful for having such great pets in my life. I love them, as I know they accept and love me as I am.

The magic of movies and stories

As a child, books were my friends. I would escape, live adventures throughout stories in books. As an adult, I still read however over the years, I fell in love with the magic of good movies. I still value books more though once in a while, I find a charming story told in a movie. "A little princess" is one of my favorite movies, which reminds me of the stories I read as a child. "Lucky 7" is another movie that reminds me that all is possible, like in the books of my childhood. "You've got mail" is one of my all time favorite movie that I simply find "charming". 

I suspect what I enjoy in these movies is that like in books, there is a "happy ending" as in the stories I read and imagined as a child. These movies remind me to dream like my books did.
