Someone asked me the other day what I listen to and watch online.
"Besides listening to songs (including of course the ones my husband Gil and I produce), I love animal videos. I particularly like ones about animals who have reunions with their owners after a long separation. Also, ones where animals are rescued and nursed to health by kind people.
I was raised with all sorts of animals - one set of grandparents lived on a farm, and I was always finding cats to adopt, and once helped nurse a pigeon to health. My kids are grown, and in our family we have had all sorts of animals, including Goldy our cat who was the inspiration from Goldy’s Baby Socks. Now, we have Bailey as the "star" in our house. We adopted her from a shelter, like our other cats, and she is a Senior Cat. She had a friend Lucy who lived with us as well, but recently she passed away, so Bailey is our one love.
There is something wonderful about having an animal in the home, and watching animal videos on YouTube, or an animal rescue show on TV, or even just the videos our kids send us makes me happy.
These are scary times so we all need to find things that calm us down and make us happy.
I also want to say “thank you” to all you that are keeping your loved ones safe, and all those who through their unselfish actions are working to keep us and our neighbors safe. And thanks to all those who give their time and support to community charities such as food banks. Kindness is such an easy thing to do, so whether it be to animals or humans:
Please, be kind.
