International Cat Day

International Cat Day (or World Cat Day) is a celebration dedicated to all cats, observed annually on August 8. In some countries, this celebration is observed on different days.

It was established in 2002 by the International Animal Protection Foundation with the aim of raising awareness about the importance of caring for cats, their protection and well-being, and to honor these animals that have become important companions to humans.

I have and continue to watch endless hours on YouTube about the 9/11 attacks on America.

We are hard wired to see the bad in our lives

Last night I was desperately trying to focus on anything other than the bad experience I had earlier in the day. I could change focus for a short while then back to the bad.

The reason we are hard wired, is so we could survive the tiger waiting in the bushes, ready to attack and eat us.

We are hard wired to SEE the tiger, so we can escape it. This is VERY important. Without it we would be tiger breakfast.

Residential people are able to choose what they focus thier attention on.

Eventually I was able to shift my focus, but I took a while.
