Getting ready to feast. Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours. Here’s a bit of Wendell Berry for the day: 🦃🦃🦃 “It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.”

Everyone is home and the snow is all around. Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. I just finished my latest blog post for my next newsletter on, you guessed it, gratitude. You can sign up for the newsletter at isacatto.com or you can go to the link in bio. Here's an excerpt: 🦒🦒🦒 I cupped the kibble in the palm of my hand and waited for the 14-foot Rothschild giraffe to amble over. On a long-delayed family trip, we were at Giraffe Manor in Nairobi on the first stop of our Kenyan tour. We were now vaccinated and more than able and willing to step onto another continent. The preserve/hotel was relatively deserted save an influencer or two preening with the resident giraffes. Giraffes have incredibly acrobatic, slimy tongues, and mine--Daisy--gobbled up her treats like a pro. Then the guide gave me permission to stroke her elegant neck. So I did and burst into tears. 🦒🦒🦒To continue go to the link in bio.

Today is World Kindness Day. At first I thought designating a day for world kindess felt a bit forced. But then again maybe any invitation to be more kind is a good thing, hashtag and all. Cruelty is a constant in small and big measures, and it’s up to us to wage a guerrilla warfare of a sort to diminish its presence. The pandemic brought isolation, but also an invitation to slow down. We need to remember the importance of the pause, of stopping and looking. Ask and listen. Open that door. Say thanks. It really does carry forward to the next soul. It all adds up. It all matters. It’s a daily discipline, at least for me, and I often stumble, get impatient and forget while I am snarled in some mindless routine. Speaking of kindness, go to link in bio to learn about my friend Ami’s amazing new non-profit with Eileen Mignoni Vital Impacts that harnesses the power of art to raise awareness for conservation and social justice, and remind us of our connectivity. Thank you for taking this amazing photo @jonathan_irish!

I squirm in front of a camera, and I hate having my picture taken. But our new winter scarves came in and models were scarce so I stepped in. @ted_maertens, our in-house photographer, got this one of me goofing off and I like the whole tableau of the Elk Mountain Range, the sky, the road, and Rose. Are all introverts lens shy? And click photo to see more of the scarf.
