Bluebird and Butterfly of Happiness?

Greetings, Big Cats...blink, blink...meow-maaoow, a long day of editing. And the Kougaress is a bit blinky dizzy. Purring-however, one of her rewards is the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie recipe she discovered on ~ cindyjacks.blogspot.com ~ Cindy Jacks is an author with Lyrical Press, a new e-publisher, who officially opened their doors on May 5.
Another reward? Before the Kougar snuggled up in her sheets very early this morning, just as the sun had risen, moi gazed out her fave west-facing window...spying the most gorgeous little bluebird critter. Tiny radiantly blue darling, with his black-feathered tail, perched on one tiny limb of the branch the Kougar should have moved by now, and after looking around diligently, began feeding on dandelion seeds. No hurry, blue birdie fed for a long while, not a sign of fear present in his feathers.
The Kougar's blue bird of happiness?
Then, another reward. Just before noon, the Kougaress had the occasion to once again gaze out her fave window...and! A beautiful jet black butterfly with orange-yellow dashes at the bottom of his wings dined on the lone bright yellow dandelion blossom. Where was moi's camera?
Was this more-than-lovely pollinator the Kougar's butterfly of happiness?
Or could it be shaman-interpreted as the blue bird of happiness winging the Kougaress's way?
Wish..wish...and realistically...well, the Kougar will not bore you with the endless wish-for-happiness details of her life.
One happy event! However, moi was successful in registering for Liquid Silver's Silver Expressions blog ~ so she can actually blog on May 23 when it's her turn. Will miracles never cease? That the Kougar is somewhat successful in negotiating this cyber space world ~ at least, her tiny piece of it.
Take a spin on over to Title Magic, my Lovely Big Kitties. Today's guest blogger, Lee R. Duncan, is the master coordinator of the writing contest, Launching a Star, for her RWA chapter. Moi always learns a lot, and Lee's informative blog is no exception. And it's just fun! Mew-sings below.
Hi Lee, long ago, about 1999, I spent a year entering contests. That experience has definitely helped me now as a newly published e-author.
If I had more time...which is like gold now...I would enter contests for feedback, or as an author.
I have to say, when one of my manuscripts received a personal glowing letter of how much the judge loved my entry, and it was the best thing she'd ever read, I must have cried for an hour, and I was trying to run around doing chores. Driving and tears don't really work that well together.
Sad to say, that particular completed mss, Risk-Fierce Ravishing Pilot, may never get published because of the unusual style of writing I used.
Thanks for being with us today. And thanks for what you do.

An exciting day! Here at Title Magic. You are knocking them out of the park, Lee.
Savanna, who taking a little breaky from edits...argh!

Bluebird and butterfly kisses from the Kougar...
