How I love this post!! The cats, the purple spring ephemerals - you really capture Living in the Now. Not just in photos. In words too. This:

this gnat's wing flicker of our existence. I've been thinking a lot about our brief stay here and how we think we have control over our time. We don't have any control over how this all unfolds.....

With our time being so precious, fleeting, and finite, even going through the most annoying, inconvenient, and or horrid things doesn't have to be so devastating to our overall state ....

And then, the cat naps, totally justifiable, esp. on a Sunday. Love it!

I was stressing out over some stupid, annoying complications and challenges (how hard could it be to mail a new ATM card to our son in Mexico? Not gonna go there, not gonna revisit that!) - and just when I was ready to scream, I'd remind myself: my sister is battling cancer. Doctors tell her only 2-3 months left. She is fighting that. How bad is the Fed Ex screw-up, when our son is alive and well, and not starving to death after the ATM machine ate his card, and his bank couldn't mail the replacement to him, so we..... (NOT gonna go there... $75 to send it and even then.... no no no).

Do not sweat the small stuff. It's pretty much all small stuff.

Thank you for this post @generikat, and I hope you got to enjoy a nap like the cat's!
