I desperately miss sleeping with the cats. Henry is the best cuddler ever. When I got married, it was a contentious point with DH. I do, however, see his side, especially since Henry likes to lick paper and books of any kind to wake you up. So, I compromised. It was a hard transition. I "volunteered" to sleep with the kitten for about a month. I both loved and hated it, as she has a loud purr. Thankfully, DH otherwise adores the cats as much as I do. We are definitely crazy cat people.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
