Quick Follow-Up

Deep breath. Ahhh. So Sallie was a little shell shocked when we finally picked her up the next day. I held her on my lap and she snuggled in close. She spent the next 12 hours huddled under the blankets of our temporary apartment. She's staying at Brian's parents house where she has lots of room to roam. And we got her a Litter Maid, which delights and confuses her at the same time. She keeps digging around as if to say, "I know I left it here somewhere..." She's a happy kitty now. We spent the weekend in Logan, Utah with family which really lifted our spirits. It was so incredible to walk outside one evening, breathe in the mountain air, feel the grass beneath my feet, look around and see how green everything is. It was a perfect night. I could feel wave after wave of energy releasing and my spirit felt lighter and lighter. The only disapointment (after my traveling fiasco) is that the house which we really felt like was supposed to be our house just went under contract. Oh well. If it's meant to be, it will be ours. When I start feeling overwhelmed, I take a minute to look around, breathe the mountain air, and I'm immediately filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and awe that I'm here. It doesn't matter what happens now, I'm in Utah. I hope I can hold on to the feeling forever, to always marvel at the miracle. So if I ever start complaining about where I'm living or something that isn't going my way, just remind me that even on my worst day, I'm still blessed to be in Utah.
