We hope you all had a wonderful week. We will start this post to tell you that Pasqua felt he deserved a little video, too: Life With Cats

Tomorrow, we honor Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) who bravely challenged the interracial wrongs of the United States. President Ronald Reagan signed a bill creating a federal holiday in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1983. It is observed the third Monday of January, and was first celebrated in 1986.
It was written that ten days after Martin Luther King, Jr. was attacked in 1958, that it affirmed his dedication to nonviolence. “A climate of hatred and bitterness so permeates areas of our nation that inevitably deeds of extreme violence must erupt,” he said. “The experience of these last few days has deepened my faith in the relevance of the spirit of nonviolence, if necessary social change is peacefully to take place.”
Tragically, he was assassinated ten years later. He was loved by many, and like so many leaders with dreams for a more unified and safe country, he was also hated.
Here is a list of ten things you may not know about this brave man: 10 Things You May Not Know About Martin Luther King, Jr.

I shall end this post with hope in my heart, and cute photos to hopefully warm yours:
