This is Superman and Cleo on our daily (I wish, but we try) walk. About 2 blocks from our house is a dirt trail through the cedar and sage brush. At the top of the trail is an amazing view of the mountains on all sides and the town nestled down in the basin. It's breathtaking! We can let Cleo off her leash and she runs and jumps through the cedar like a wild animal let out of a cage! It's thrilling to watch. If I could keep up, I would be running with her.
Just left of that silly little tree in the foreground is my house as seen from halfway up the trail.
This is it! This is the spot where I look around me and I take a deep breath and I thank God that I am here. That my Superman is at my side. That my Cleo is so happy and beautiful. That my home down below contains my gorgeous and wonderful children and that for the first time in my life, I am truly content. That I have FINALLY crawled through my tunnel o' crap and made it out the other side to THIS! Of course, Superman has no idea that all of this is going through my head right now. That the ear to ear smile on my face is pure joy and that I just feel so DAMN GOOD! But that's OK! It's so good to just FEEL it!
The icing on the cake...a full moon to light our way home. I wish I had the poetic talent to describe this moment (like you, Magpie...you're fabulous) but I don't. I'll just let Tom Petty and these pics do it for me.
