Scaredy Cat sits quietly, partially hidden in the corner, just watching his hooman. He sees her sitting with her eyes closed, not saying anything. She remains very quiet as a couple of tears escapes from the corner of her eye. He's very aware that she has been struggling with some sadness lately and it appears today it has really affected her. He wishes he knew what he could do to help make her feel better. He silently goes over to where she's sitting and softly rubs his shiny black fur against her legs, gently purring in hopes it can bring a smile to her face. She does reach one hand out and tenderly scratches behind his ear. He purrs a bit more. He thinks to himself, "If only I could talk. I would say some things to let her know how much I care.". He doesn't quite realize that when he shows his hooman this gentle kind of attention, it is letting her know that he does care. Gracefully, Scaredy Cat leaps up into her lap and curls up against her in the hopes it will bring comfort.

Hey gang. I am having a very hard time right now. As many know, I battle depression and it's been a rough few weeks for my mental and emotional state. Today has been extremely difficult and it's affecting my creativity. I cannot seem to find any sort of inspiration for this week's art challenge. Nothing I look at jumps out at me and says,"This would be a great idea". I don't even have the drive to look through the archives to see if I can reuse an old idea with a fresh spin on it. So, with that said, because I do want you to be able to have something for the week to work towards, I am going to challenge you to use your own creativity and make scenes that bring you peace, joy and happiness. Whether it's a scene depicting a place you go to for quiet reflection or showing your favorite pasttime, please share it with us. If reading is your thing, create something showing us your collection of books. Music is always something I can relate to - how about you? Being with family probably brings out all sort of warm and fuzzy feelings - show us what your family means to you. Anything you can think of (please keep it family friendly) that brings a smile to your face is what you ought to share. Please don't worry - I'll be ok.
