Tonight, I made my delicious roasted crab dip [perfect movie night dinner!] then Joe and I cozied up on the couch with a bottle of white [La Crema, my personal fave] and a brilliant film: The Life Aquatic.
After the film was over and we were slowly coming out of our little nest and post-movie haze, I glanced around for the kitties only to find that they were, all three, cuddled in their favorite spots. Osiris curled up on his bed, Steven nestled on the fainting couch, and Alex, naturally, was cuddled between Joe and me. These boys, [especially the one in particular, ^_-] just fill my heart with love. They really do.
I am not one of the lucky ones who feels as if they have a true home. I cannot stand going back to my "home"town, and I am beyond ready to leave Louisiana [the South, in general!] And even though I've done my best to make our little space here feel warm and welcoming, it's the souls that inhabit it that make me feel really at peace here.
I would like to think that, one day, Joe and I will find somewhere that we will settle down, but in the meantime, having my tiny little family is enough to keep me happy while I pay my dues, so to speak. I guess as Eckhart would say, they help keep me "in the now". I don't want to live in the future, it's difficult though. We have such big plans and goals, I can't help but dwell on them.
*le sigh*
