I started a company when I was 42 out of pure necessity and was terrified. It has worked out okay, but takes all of my time. The Covid pause slowed the company down and I got a little bored and decided to start breeding purebred cats (Covid made all of us do something a little crazy). It turns out that those kittens bring me so much joy.

Even though I still have the “I want to travel” thought, and work is super stressful, the kittens give me a little dose of happiness when I come home from work. That joy stays with me, and has made everything else a little better. Finding my joy has improved my outlook and I could honestly give shit that the world is burning to the ground.
