Back from my 3-Day hiatus; I really was going to schedule a post for last Friday but it was all I could do to get my act together to get out of here and make it to Chicago last week. The 3-Day was the usual wonderfulness, and the hospitality of Chicago and my wonderful friends kept me pointed forward for a few days.
Today I am trusting that I will, at some point in the foreseeable future, make it through a whole day without crying. Today was not that day. I just continue to feel a big hole in my life and my heart right now- I keep looking in her bed when I wake up in the mornings, keep expecting her to greet me when I come in from work, keep missing the "Woo-woo" of her opinions. Quite simply, Kita required ritual that wasn't otherwise present. The kitties have been a saving grace although it's clear that they miss her too.
Today I am grateful for a weekend at home, not on call, and without a zillion miles to walk in training. I don't really plan on doing any work either. There will, however, be plenty of reading. For fun.
Today I am inspired by this terrific Soul Pancake video on the Science of Happiness. Gratitude is what it's all about at the end of the day, which is why I keep coming here every week- to remind myself to pause, trust, and be grateful.
