Finding a Good Fit

Have you ever struggled and struggled to make something work? Despite the fact that you know you want something so much, the fit just isn't comfortable. But you try, try and try some more?

A job. A relationship. A piece of clothing that looked so good in the store. A house. A car.

There are so very many things we try to make work in our lives. Yet ... it just isn't right.

Meet "Jet". Our Bored Little Kitty.

Jet is a master of wanting what he can't have. 

He enjoys tormenting "Ray" (his senior partner in cathood). I do believe this is a ploy to get our attention. 

He claws, picks and scratches at the back door because he wants it open when HE wants it open. 

Jet is a fan of "new". He is a guy who appears to thrive on change. New toys, a new paper bag, a box or anything without a familiar scent. 

This morning, he jumped onto our paper shredder and somehow managed to turn it on. Thankfully he was not alone. The shredder would have run all day and who knows what trouble Jet's curiosity could have caused. He did turn on the "reverse" function so one can hope all would have been fine. I took the lesson out of Jet's misdeed and unplugged the shredder. It never should have been left plugged in to start with. 

Kids and cats. You never know what danger lurks until you share a roof with those who are in a constant state of discovering the world.

This has become Jet's newest morning resting spot:

He is presently resting atop the printer. He jumps up there, mangles any papers which may have preceded his presence. He turns in circles, turns the printer "on", on a regular basis (he hasn't sent a fax in a while, though he has tried in the past) and struggles to find a comfortable place to rest. 

As it is with those clothes, relationships, jobs, etc, etc that are just not a good fit no matter how hard we try, I must ask Jet this question:

"If you have to struggle so hard to make this work for you ... do you really think this is where you are meant to be right now?"

May you find comfort within your day today.

Jet may add a P.S.: 

"If you can make an uncomfortable situation comfortable, perhaps it IS worth the effort."
