Sarah's Turmoil

To prepare our condo for the installation of hardwood flooring and a new decorating style, the entire main level was stripped of furniture, carpeting and wall art. Furnishings were replaced by drop cloths, paint cans and boxes of wood planks.

Our cat Sarah’s favorite sofa, where she napped throughout the day, was gone. The carpeting on which she lay was ripped up and discarded. Her comfy home was ravaged. What did Sarah think? That a move was imminent? That her owners invested with Bernie Madoff and were now destitute? That her food supply might become rationed?

As with Sarah, we don’t always understand why certain things happen in our lives. But with good faith and the passing of time, life eventually returns to normal and perhaps for the better.
