Impression Homes’ Post

The Unexpected Hug I was at a friend’s house, not really thinking about anything, and someone came in and gave me an unexpected hug, and a thought came to me - Let Go, Chase Rainbows- and I knew that’s what I have to do, that’s my plan for the next year.

Valuing the moments shared with those who have nurtured us is essential for fostering profound connections and creating enduring memories. Families can enhance these relationships by prioritizing quality time spent together, whether through regular family dinners, engaging game nights, or casual conversations that promote laughter and connection. Sharing stories from the past enriches these experiences, enabling all members to gain insights into their family’s history and the invaluable lessons that have shaped their lives. Establishing or maintaining family traditions—such as holiday celebrations, annual trips, or cherished recipes—instills a sense of continuity and belonging. Additionally, creating a memory book filled with photographs and treasured mementos serves as a tangible reminder of shared experiences. Embracing new adventures, such as experimenting with unfamiliar recipes or exploring new destinations, can also strengthen relationships. Volunteering as a family reinforces shared values and a collective sense of purpose. But it's in moments of mindfulness and reflection that we truly cultivate gratitude and appreciation for one another. Celebrating milestones, ranging from birthdays to personal achievements, as well as embarking on journeys together—whether through short trips or weekend getaways—transforms ordinary days into extraordinary memories. By intentionally nurturing and savoring these moments, families can construct a rich tapestry of treasured memories that will endure for generations.

Pet cats and dogs offer reciprocally healthy relationships — many owners describe them as somewhat symbiotic — particularly for those suffering physical and/or mental illness. It’s the pet's many qualities, especially its non-humanly innocence, that makes losing it someday such a heartbreaking experience.   Yet, in the case of cats at least, human apathy, the throwaway mentality/culture and even a bit of public hostility toward them typically result in population explosions thus their inevitable neglect and suffering, including severe illness and starvation. With the mindset of feline disposability, it might be: ‘Oh, there’s a lot more whence they came’.   It’s likely that only when their over-populations are greatly reduced in number through consistent publicly-funded spay/neuter programs, might these beautiful animals’ potentially soothing, even therapeutic, presence be truly appreciated rather than taken for granted or even resented. Until then, cats likely will remain beautiful yet often misunderstood, prejudged and unjustly despised animals. …   Along with human intelligence comes the proportionate reprehensible potential for evil behavior, i.e. malice for malice’s sake. While animals, including cats and dogs, can react violently, it is typically due to reactive distrust/dislike. But leave it to humans to commit a spiteful act, if only because we can. With our four-legged friends there definitely is a beautiful absence of that undesirable distinctly human trait. (SIDE NOTE: It’s hard not to notice how unusually nice people with, for example, Down Syndrome are — all to their credit, of course — when compared to the average and high(er) IQ population. I doubt it’s coincidental. It brings to mind a really beautiful movie I once had the pleasure of watching, starring Harrison Ford, titled Regarding Henry. And, of course, there's I Am Sam, with a talented-as-usual Sean Penn.)
