A Street called Bob: James' cat saving his life and becoming his companion ... in a way reminds me of Roland. <br /><br />Animals can be huge releasers of positive energies ... <br /><br />Goals - yes I have a few .. which this year will definitely come to fruition ... <br /><br />Cheers and good luck with yours - it's always difficult in the colder months to get going full on ..

"Here is something that needs me," they think. "I can't fix myself, that's too big a task, but I can do something about this poor creature." And by doing the latter, they unwittingly do the former, too. Sounds like a great book.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187854108656107958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-41649546147602079372014-02-03T08:50:24.485-08:002014-02-03T08:50:24.485-08:00@Lisa, I hope you enjoy it!@Lisa, I hope you enjoy it!Julie Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003737491313673214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-38467022504896272942014-02-03T08:41:36.930-08:002014-02-03T08:41:36.930-08:00Think I would love the cat story.

My goal is so far away that there's no point recording my progress from month to month - I have a profound belief I will win the Booker Prize when I'm 56.
