I truly believe that there are some people who are put on the planet to make the rest of us feel good about ourselves. In the world of cartoons and comic strips, Garfield is “the one.” No one can be as lazy, sneaky, and indifferent as Garfield and still be as lovable. As self-centered as he can be, Garfield has redeeming moments and qualities. He’s not a mean or hateful cat; that would require too much effort. Though he’s not swarming with friends and invitations, he loves the ones he’s close to and they love him.

The truth is, I relate to Garfield. It’s hard to explain, but that cat gets in my head. When I write sometimes, I try to think what Garfield would do and do the opposite. When push comes to shove, Garfield would never sit idly by if his friends truly needed him, but if a plate of lasagna was in his way, it might take him a while to come to the rescue.

When she arrived back in the suite the phone was ringing. Rebecca rushed over to pick it up and answer it. “Where in God’s name have you been?” yelled Lisa from the other end.

“I was out looking at stuff, what’s the big deal,” replied Becca annoyed.

“The big deal is,” snapped Lisa, “that you’re all alone in a foreign country that you’ve never been to and you didn’t turn on your cell phone,” she shouted.

Rebecca looked down and opened her purse and there was her cell phone sitting snuggly in its designated pocket in the off position. “Oh my…oh…oh Lisa I’m so sorry. I must have just gotten carried away and forgotten to turn it on. I’m so sorry,” she continued to say apologetically.

“It’s ok,” said Lisa now much calmer. “I’m just glad you’re alright. Not even a full day in Italy and you’re a whole new person ehh” she teased in a questioning cynical tone.

Rebecca decided to roll out of bed and start her day since Lisa had been so excited for her; and she figured she’d check out her phenomenal view. She stood up from the bed and stretched, reaching up to the sky and then down to her toes. She tip toed over to the window and looked out and was taken aback. It was beautiful. She looked out over the Galleria Vittorio Emanuelle II with its beautiful shops and devoted travelers. Rebecca stood there for a moment adoring her wonderful view and then turned and finally viewed her room. It was more than elegant; she could not have dreamed of such a place. The whole suite blew her away. Rebecca looked at the time and decided not to waist a moment more.
