I just want to reflect for a bit on the joys and beauties of owning (pardon, of course I mean being owned BY) little gerbils ... I am finding great comfort in the midst of life stresses by watching my little family unit: Sheridan, Trixie, and babies. I wonder at the miracle of life and growth as I watch the babies beginning to explore their world, though still blind. I take comfort in the miracle of a mother's love for her children while watching Trixie nurse her young, and in the miracle of a father's love in watching Sheridan gently bathe a pup from head to toe. I marvel at the beauty in this world as I look at all the different lovely coat colors. I find some peace in watching them sleep contentedly in a group, little feet sticking out every which way from the pile. All the things going on in the news are disturbing, yet all I have to do is go peek into a gerbil tank to recover my smile. :) Tana and The Little Rascals Now at http://rascals.mybravenet.com ------------------------------------------------------------- Sign up for ICQmail at http://www.icq.com/icqmail/signup.html
