As I'm writing this now, I'm listening to Los Amigos Invisibles on youtube. Listening to their music almost always makes me feel happy. It's takes me away to another place, physically, psychically, and emotionally. It somehow reminds me that there's a whole world out there, beyond the quotidian existence of my office, the world of family law, and the steps I take to get from home to the office and back. I feel empowered even as I write this now.
Speaking of dreaming of other places, while at work today, between phone calls and other tasks, I looked at a map of Quebec province, Canada. I daydreamed about my trip in the fall of 2011 to Montreal. I remember the daylong train ride from Philadelphia through New York City, along the Hudson River and past Lake Champlain up to Montreal. I recalled the sensation of feeling like I was in a European city, while still knowing that my feet were firmly planted in North America. I looked up some information on the city of Trois Rivieres on the banks of the St. Lawrence River and I hoped that Jeannie and I can make the trip there some time in the next month or so. Just thinking about it, I could picture myself there and already I could feel my stress level declining. God willing, we'll be there soon.
Finally tonight, I just want to say that I'm so thankful for Rocky and the Baby. I love them so much. While we sat on the couch eating our dinner of scrambled eggs with bacon and diced onion and red pepper, with a bagel with cream cheese, Rocky jumped up to sit between Jeannie and me and the Baby sat on top of the cable box like usual. A little later on, when I was done with dinner and just sitting drinking a glass of orange juice, the Baby jumped up to sit on my lap. Even now as I type, I look up from my desk and see Rocky perched on the thin ledge next to and above the stair case that leads down here to the basement. These guys bring me so much happiness. I hope they know that I love them so much.
