A picture I took to remind myself of the beauty in life:

A part of this project will also be to include things to inspire myself to remember the beauty this world has to offer. I will publish pictures I have taken that I tried to capture the essence of beauty in this world or I will publish and give credit to other artists who have done the same. Whether it be words, quotations, pictures. I will briefly explain how the form of artwork has inspired or how it has made me feel, and hope that if not the same feeling occurs for someone else, it may inspire some admiration of how truly beautiful this world and this life can be.


Here is a picture I recently captured of my sister's cats. (Well, only two of the five). My sister has a big heart for animals. These two were her first cats. Cabot (the Grey and White cat) She got in 2004 as a kitten. Someone had said that he was thrown out because he was too ugly and she found him in a box on the side of the road. Minus that he had obnoxiously huge ears and bounced around like a bunny (hence the name Cabot), he was the one of the cutest most loving kittens we'd ever come across. A couple years later, a black and white stray began hanging around my sister's apartment (Phil). He gained my sister's affections but she wasn't ready to take him into her home. Until one day when he dragged himself to her after being hurt, she assumed possibly hit by a car. At that point she took care of him and he is now one of her indoor cats. Both these cats being "saved" kitties makes them precious all in their own story.

Cats (although in some cases other people may have personal opinions that do not agree with mine) are just all around cute. Pictures of kittens make people giggle in auw all the time. A cat, from my experience, is very in tune with the people who take care of them. Cats know when their owners are not okay and will find a way to try and comfort them. (Not all, but most at least). Cats, although not as loving as a dog or puppy can be, can be a huge heart warming entity. They have the ability to make a lot of people smile, even if it is just by a picture.


These two cats, Although not blood related, treat each other like brothers. That should be inspiring enough to anyone, to remember that you should try and treat those you care about like family members, who watch out and support each other. If two cats can do it, so can we as human beings (You know since we are the superior species because of our larger and better brains; which seem to be programmed more selfishly with less consideration for others).
