Oscar the Bionic Cat

Meet Oscar the bionic cat. His back legs were lost in a farming accident last October. He was fitted with prosthetic paws in a three-hour operation by a surgeon in Britain. Now Oscar can walk and jump around again thanks to this new bionic paws.

Daredevil Ducks

Upon leaving work on Friday, I quickly scanned the pool for the ducks. I saw them casually perched at the edge of the waterfall. These ducks are crazy! I thought to myself...

 Mrs. Duck, "Why crazy?"

This puts it in perspective.

Desktop Design

I think it's important to have a little bit of your personality show through at work, especially when you work in a cubicle. Here is a collection of trinkets to give my desk area a little more pizazz. Shown here is my most improved swimmer trophy—for 10 & under, a day at the beach (executive gift giveaway), troll doll look-a-like, frog card holder (a prize for third place in a speech contest) and the winning bingo ticket from a work fundraiser. What's on your desk?

Back then...

I found these pictures of me and my sister and thought I would share. Too funny.

Sweet Surrender

This post was inspired by the words of my yoga instructor before class last week, "Sometimes things happen in life that we may not like. Suffering is felt when we resist these challenges or obstacles. Surrendering is not giving up, it is when we embrace this life and these moments and sometimes, well, shit happens!" 

One thing I love about the practice of yoga is how you can find a pose, like this beautiful backbend, that can fully express the notion of Sweet Surrender. 

Have a lovely weekend.
