Cozy, But Not Ready Yet.




Hi 30daysofwrite-ers. Today's suggestion is an excellent one, but I am not really ready yet. Less than a month ago, on St. Patrick's Day (from now on to be known as St. Moses Day,) our family said adios to a beloved pet. I have written about him in the recent past here, here and here. He was wonderful, he had a long life, we miss him. Given a little more time I will have more to say and write about it.



Today I am under the weather. I thought I would be able to really do something special for this post, but kept getting stuck. So I decided to link to recent writings about Mo, and instead of adding to those writings just now, I thought about him while I made a french press cozy. Out of an old sweater. It keeps the coffee warm and now I reckon it will always remind me of him.

Peace.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. My dogs are my world.

But I think you chose a fantastic topic! The metaphor of keeping something warm, of protecting it from its own fragile loss of heat, was fantastic. Plus, the cozy was totally adorable.

I'm so glad you shared all this!
