I have been collecting good feelings today. The first one happened the moment I awoke--there was something very glad-to-be-alive about this morning. And there were other good feelings throughout my day... correctness and ease and completion. But the best, easily, is the feeling I've got trapped in my ribcage right now: I am wanted. This is the best. I say this even after I've ended my evening watching a sweet little gray striped kitten methodically explore its new home. He's a scientist, I think, and clever and he likes me--he walked along the length of my leg and curled up on my hip as I lay on the floor studying him. I might have said 'there's nothing better than a kitten!' But I don't know, today I still maintain that he came in second.
