Hey friend,
I believe the decision you made for Felicia was the right one, and the fact that she purred is a little gift to you to help ease the pain you feel for having to make that choice. Do you still have Milo and if so, how is he handling the new change?
Thanks for the congrats on the new house. It was an emotional decision for me to buy it - the uncertain economy and so many peers losing their jobs, I'm still not sure if I've done the right thing. But there are moments, like when the sun comes through the window in such a way, or seeing lightning bugs in my back yard ( I can say that now... MY back yard), that soothe me a bit and I feel like things will be fine. The house is no mansion and needs SO MUCH work, but I've been waiting for a "home" for years and I'm up to the challenge. It's hard to forge ahead in the face of so much fear and self-questioning, but I know what I want at the end of the day so I can't stop until I'm as close to that dream as I can be. I've never been so tired! I'm covered with varnish stains, scratches, scars and bruises; I've lost two finger nails, and have given up wearing makeup altogether. But I have a shovel for planting, a ladder to clean the gutters, and the first month's mortgage is paid. Things are gonna be okay.
Take care, miss Carol. Know I'm thinking of you and remember you are loved.
