There are mornings when we'd rather feign illness than get out of bed, so why don't you let that day be today? You can stay in bed and enjoy these cute morning critters as comforting as a warm blanket on a chilly morning.

Sometimes life feels unfair, it feels unreasonable. We don't always want the rat race, we don't always want to work, or be responsible, or perform. Sometimes all we want is to stay in bed and forsake everything we're supposed to do. Even fantasizing about dropping everything and leaving the country can feel comforting. But regardless of the decisions we make in life, or if we drop everything or not, life will hit us in the face eventually. When it does, it's important to have ways to comfort oneself and feel like the day is worth it. Cute critters can make us feel like that. They can be as comforting as a warm blanket on a chilly morning. Now that it's almost October, the weather is changing immensely, and mornings are chilly. A cozy collection of critters to scroll could be the perfect anecdote to your morning commute frustrations, your annoying coworker, or just the simplistic mundane day to day that we all struggle with.

Critters don't have a clue what we go through. They off scampering around, running through fields, hiding from predators, laying in flowers, crawling on moss, climbing up trees. They truly don't have commutes, and they don't have to deal with customer Karen. On a crisp morning all they have to do is enjoy the freshness of the day and the nascence that is ahead of them. They can be snug in a bundle of bushes, or have a tea party in a forest. It's no wonder they're amongst fairytales of adventure and childhood whimsy. So here are some cute critters to help you with whatever it is that makes you want to stay in bed all morning.

I really love animals just for this reason. They really do break us out of our daily responsibilties, and they make us forget our worries and troubles without even trying.
