Quest Companions

I’ve been thinking lately about the companions who share our space and our lives, depend upon our care, and give back with their friendly presence: our pets and plants! These sidekicks make life just a little bit brighter, and can use our attention and our gratitude. So let’s take some time to help them flourish and enjoy the benefits they bring. This challenge offers a chance to build resilience by strengthening our non-human support systems.

Habit:
Spend time with your companions

Daily:
Care for your companions

To Do:
– Make a pet rock
– Take stock: does it make sense to add a pet or plant to your household?
– Share a story in the Living Vividly Guild about a non-human companion who has enriched your life, past or present.

Reflection:
I had a delightful time crafting pet rocks and spending special time with our cat, Jinx. It’s wonderful sometimes to take extra time to appreciate the advantages we have! And this little kitty really enriches my life. It was also quite wonderful to hear all of the stories in the Guild about people’s treasured pets, plants, and sweet stuffed animals!
