The World Always Looks Brighter Behind a Smile

If you feel down, did you ever force yourself to smile? Did it trick your brain to feeling better?  

There are a lot of things in this world that can bring a smile to your face. If you give a smile it is often reflected back at you. That should certainly brighten a dark day. 

Today, we bring you the smile that is provided to us by our little feral, Grigio. He visits two to three times a day, and waits patiently for us to realize he is there.

Yesterday, after eating a full bowl of soft food, he stretched his front legs and returned to the door. My little brother, Pasqua Scheggiare, greeted him.

Mamma said Grigio was saying to Pasqua, "Excuse me, Sir, my bowl is empty. Can you get that waitress?"

Mamma is so funny. She makes us laugh. 

 😸 I'm always on the look-out! 😸

We hope your heart and food bowl are full. May your week be filled with reasons to smile.

Smile more. - Assunta.

Arrivederci Novembre!

This wonderful week was filled with blessings. Our little Grigio visited daily, and even used the shelter mamma built for him. 

Grigio still won't come inside the house, but we remain hopeful that soon he will trust us enough to. 

Also this week, mamma had a couple days off from work, which made us so happy. We got to nap in peace and play more than usual. 

November is ending and we are about to greet December. I like December because I get to follow mamma into the basement to retrieve all our Christmas decorations. One item in particular is my absolute favourite - an actual tree for the house. 🌲

Coolest thing ever for housecats. 

Each December we celebrate a Christian holiday - but we also celebrate me! More about that next week. I know you will look forward to reading all about it. 

The title of this week's blog bids "farewell" to the month. As our names suggest, you might have guessed we are bilingual kitties. One thing that is awesome to us, no matter which languages you speak, everyone smiles in the same language. 

Hope this week brings lots of smiles.

Pay it forward...

Happy Sunday, Readers,

The United Kingdom celebrates May as the National Smile Month. We hope this post finds you in good spirits and having a relaxing weekend filled with plenty of smiles.

We received a special video message from Jonathan Rosenberg, the Founder and Executive Director of the cat sanctuary which Pasqua Scheggiare came from, Tabby’s Place. We want to share it with you, and if you were looking for a place to pay forward any of your blessings, we kindly ask you to consider this public charity (501c3 non-profit corporation).

Their success, as with any charity, is dependent on the generous donations of people just like you. We believe what they are doing is extraordinary and valuable.
