One of our cats, Wiki, went to live with some friends last weekend, and I've been kind of in a haze ever since. Moments before they drove off with the her, the reality of what we're doing hit me. Not for the first time; it hits me periodically in different ways. But saying goodbye to one of our cats made it real in a new way. Part of this change we're choosing is that we're stripping ourselves of what we identify with - the comforts that make us "us." In Dubai I won't have Wiki and Hattie to come home to, my best friend to run with, or our wonderful neighbors who touch our lives every day. We are going across the world with just ourselves and a few material possessions. We will start from scratch with the tools we've acquired over the years to cultivate our own happiness.
What inspires me is that I know we can do it. We'll take our bodies to a new place and will be our same happy family in the desert. We can do this. We must do this.
