Peace.
Aside from when I was very small, there has never been a time when I haven't perched on my bed reading a book or writing, with a cat curled up at the foot. Even when I was small my mother read to my brother and I every night. In some ways, this is the most defining characteristic about me. When I'm in my warmly lit room, reading, with a cat curled up, I am the most content and the most ME I ever am. I am also the most content to be alone. I don't need anything in the world. On days like this, it's about choice. It's about freedom. I had to do what I had to do all day, namely tutoring, waking up early, and going out in difficult weather. I get to choose to be warm and comfortable in my room. I can't choose the cat thing, though. I've always had a cat, and whatever cat it was has always chosen to join me. I don't mind though. I think they just know comfort when they see it. I just wanted to record a moment, I know this hasn't been the most entertaining entry ever. I do hope all of you get to feel comfortable and warm on a rainy day. What moments make you feel the most YOU in your life? I guess the phrase I'm looking for is at peace.
