1/24/10 Wow-time flies

I can't believe that I haven't written for so many days--four days. I pledged to myself that if I only had time for one sentence that I'd do that--everyday. But I haven't this time. I got very involved in the destiny of the kittens. Who would care for them? What would be in their best interest.

When Julio (14 year old owner of Pumpkin) came to my door looking for his kittens--I was stunned. How could this be? Who would let two little kittens run free and be hungry in the cold winter. I decided to take a breath and also to take his phone number. I didn't know where the moral/ethical rightness lay. I decided to pray and ask for divine guidance. If you listen, you'll always get an answer. (You might not like it.)

That night I had a clear dream of Pumpkin (now living with another family. A family that I deemed perfect. They loved Pumpkin and would give her a perfect home.) In my dream, Pumpkin told me that he wanted to come home. (He told me a few things that aren't for sharing but he wanted to come home and that was clear)

1/23 I told Pumpkin's new family that Julio had come looking for his kitten. They decided to bring the kitten back. When Pumpkin came back, I called Julio. He's only 14 years old, but he's a very sweet person. A loving person. You can see it. He picked up his kitten --called Zoey--and hugged her. He told her that he loved her and I believe he does. He'll be a better, more responsible pet owner now.

That night MKate met Luke and I at the ICO Chamber Conversations Concert at the Historical Museum. (She was coming from a grandson basket ball game and was a little late.) Since Luke is Concert Master of the orchestra, we have to be on time.

It was an amazing concert.

Afterwards, MKate, Luke and I had dinner at Ocean World--perfect for dieting. We enjoyed a low cal fish dinner that was delicious. And fun.

1/24 I was excited this morning. Em gave Luke an amazing gift--great tickets to the Colts/Jets game. Ry was coming in from B town to enjoy this game with Luke. We had breakfast together at La Peep. Ry is always fun. We had the best waitress even. She noticed everything and quietly met all our needs for a great breakfast.

I ate 1/2 my meal and brought packed the other for lunch at NM.

Yes. I was a little scared. What if the theives came back. I prayed and asked for extra grace.

Sure enough at 4 p.m. near closing (when the theives came last time) Linda came to the front to talk to Matt and I, then Melissa came for milk that she needed for a recipe, then Kay, then MKate. So there I was surrounded by grace and the answer to my prayers.

I took Em and Nicole to dinner. Luke joined us. We had Thai food. Yummmm.
