As always, there is so much here! I love your friend's observation that we will all die with books that we haven't read.

Thank you! And my friend's observation served me as a reminder to "have dessert first" so to speak and prioritize the books I most want to read before I die (which I hope will be a long time from now - but still 😁)

I don't know if you're sketching or musing at breakfast but I like it! My creativity wakes with a slow wake up.

The box and elephant are amazing!

Both really - sketching and musing! And mine too, the slow wakeup is key!! Thank you for your kind words about my box and elephant...💚💚

I love the greeting card with that adorable cat! My cat, Simba, loves to use my books as a pillow. These days, he even sleeps on my Kindle. I’m kinda sure he thinks he’s absorbing all the words by osmosis 😂

Sue, I love these. Thank you for sharing. My cat Hannah loves to perch on my lap/chest while I read, which requires me to move the book to my right where I can rest it on the arm of my sofa. I always get the sense that's she's reading with me, but in reality, she just wants to purr and keep me warm. But I could be very wrong. She's a sophisticated cat, as is the one on your card. Thank you. The elephant also rocks.

Thank you for your wonderful comment!! Aren't cats fascinating? My cat likes to sit on my chest or lap when I read too. I hold the book slightly to my left. Sometimes my cat raises his head between me and my book despite my effort to hold the book out of the way. So I say "down in front" and my cat usually lowers his head 🤣🤣

Thank you for your kind words about my elephant too!! More re soon...
