The best time of day
is not day at all.
It is when the house settles
with a sigh and final creak.
The lamp has been switched off,
and I burrow into the flannel sheets
and a pillow the size of my head.
It is then,
in the darkness,
that the cat slowly crawls over the pillow.
I lift the blanket
and extend my right arm.
He arranges himself in the nook,
draping his paws over my arm,
and resting his head.
He may or may not purr-
But it is in that moment
that I feel pure happiness
and what it must be like
to be loved…
unconditionally.

So I have a pretty big birthday coming up at the end of next month. I’m trying to think of something I can do to commemorate it, and I’m also trying to come up with content for this blog.

If I did one of those “a post a day” things, what do you guys think I should write about? What would you like to read about? I want to share things that you want to read, so let me know what interests you, or what you’d like to see from me this coming month!

Email me at AshleyRaymerBrown@gmail.com or comment on this thread! I’d love to hear from you!
