Writers are important but so are readers. Readers and writers need each other. Writers provide their audiences with news, valuable information as well as entertainment.
Hard work does not make me feel fulfilled. It makes me feel tired and grumpy. It makes me hurt and that doesn’t feel good at all.
But the rewards that come with working hard make me feel happy and satisfied. The last fifteen years I have spent working long hours, but not working real hard. I enjoy the house that I was able to buy. I enjoyed the vacations I was able to afford. I enjoyed the projects and improvements to my house that I had money for.
So I guess that hard work made me feel happy. Now I am ready to enjoy sleeping late and working on crafts and hobbies. I will continue to work hard at writing. Writing does make me feel fulfilled.
Daily writing prompt
In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?
I am not important enough to be linked with any brands. I am not sure exactly what a person must do to become connected to a particular brand. I have never really been a follower of any type of brand. Can anyone explain to me what an associate of a specific brand does? What does someone have to do to be an associate?
I do know this. If I were to become an associate of any brand, they would have to share my values and morals. There’s many brands out there that I wouldn’t care to be connected with.
Brands I Do Like And Buy
I buy Levi jeans primarily because they are the only jeans that fit. Well, they fit the best at any rate. However, I would not want to be associated with their brand. I really would not want to be an associate for Levis because they don’t represent my values.
Alfred Dunner
Alfred Dunner is a brand of women’s clothing. Alfred Dunner makes stylish clothing mainly for older women. I like this brand of clothing because they are stylish and classy. They also usually fit well. This is a brand I would like to be associated with. Although, I would have to so more research on the company itself.
Fur Babies Leo and Lucy
Cat Products
I love cats. They can be so funny. They also make the most wonderful companions most of the time. I have four cats. Three are great loving cats but the fourth doesn’t get along well with other animals.
I would make a great associate for brands of cat food, litter and other cat products. I use enough of those cat products myself.
I would only choose brands that I would be comfortable with associating with. Mostly I would choose cat products, faith type products, certain clothing brands, and possibility health related products.
The last several days have been some of the saddest of my life. I have had to watch my beloved cat Lucy slowly losing her battle with cancer.
It’s been two years since she was diagnosed with cancer. It started with a small lump on her back and I blame myself for not getting her medical attention sooner. I was afraid I would hear that dreadful word CANCER. She was only three years old at the time. Way too young to be sick or die. But in August two years ago that is what I did hear. Lucy had cancer.
I got Lucy and Leo as kittens. My son had found two small kittens that could be held in the palm of your hand. Leo was so small when he first arrived at my home. He managed to slide under my stove and hide. Lucy I could feel her little bones because they had been starving. Well, they got chubby pretty quickly when I adopted them.
Baby Kittens
Lucy is the one with more white
Leo and Lucy were very different but then all cats have their own personality. Leo was more independent and more social. However, he didn’t like cuddling very much. After all, he was a male cat. Lucy on the other hand, was cuddly and we spent many afternoons cuddling up taking naps. Lucy was also afraid of people. If anyone set a foot on the porch, she would take off like a bolt of lightning. She would then hide. I called her my cat alarm. Lucy was always the curious one, getting in trouble and sticking her nose in things. One day she wanted to smell the vicks vapor rub so I held it down for her to sniff. Her face crinkled up and she shook her head so that I laughed so hard at her.
Surgery for Cancer
In August of 2019, Lucy went to the veterinarian and had the lump removed. They thought that she would be fine. However, they warned me that there was a good possibility the cancer could return. Lucy and I had a good year and made many more memories. And then almost one year later, the lump came back. The veterinarian said they could remove the lump again. Maybe I should have gone that route. But they said there were roots of the cancer. So I made the difficult decision to not put her through that again.

Lucy After Having Surgery
After having surgery, Lucy did very well. Within hours she was up and ready to tear around like she always had. The veterinarian had told me to keep her quiet and not let her scratch or bite her stitches open. Well that proved to be rather tough as Lucy wanted to run, play and scratch. For a few days, I mostly kept her in a large dog box. This way, she couldn’t tear around and had to rest. For scratching the stitches, the vet’s assistant suggested a baby outfit to cover the wound. So, I got her two cute little baby outfits. She looked so adorable in them but she also learned how to slip them off real quick.
So all went well till the next year when the cancer surfaced again.
Lucy’s Last Days
The end is here,. Tomorrow ends Lucy’s suffering. For days now, she has steadily declined and the medicine isn’t stopping it. She can no longer go up the stairs or jump on the couch to cuddle with me. Her hair is in tangles because she can’t clean herself. I have cleaned her several times a day with wet baby wipes. The lump has now grown in size. It is making her unable to walk properly. I think her organs are being affected.
So sadly tomorrow we make out last trip to the veterinarian and we say our final goodbyes. Lucy will suffer no more. I like to think she will go somewhere where the sun shines. There, she can chase butterflies and blowing leaves. Lucy will love that.
Goodbye Lucy
Goodbye my beautiful Lucy. I will hold you in my memories forever.
