Love Trumps Bummers: Update and Assisi pictures #200

I've been waiting for a while to post some of the following pictures to this blog.

Zeez and I like to play a game I call "Fuzzy Kitty Belly," pronounced "FUZZYKITTYBELLY!!!" He starts it by presenting me with his belly.

But all of it has got me thinking about how much I appreciate my time in college, the people I have surrounded myself with previously, and how grateful I am for my life experiences in recent years.

I slowly attempt to pet his belly.

It can make a fella a little lonely, in a way. But I'm going to take it as inspiration to reach out more.
