It's strange that I had a dream about Antonio Banderas & Melanie Griffiths, & awoke thinking of them moving here to Flagstaff, AZ enjoying the sleepy mountain town that we have & growing stronger as a couple & family. I give credit to people like Melanie & Antonio who live under the seemingly constant pressures that come from celebrity 'glass house' or 'fishbowl' existences. Could I do that, I wonder? Can't relate. The closest thing is to compare my experiences over the years living in SF Bay area, LA area, NY and Phoenix, but now the contrast of being here in the somewhat sleepier community of Flagstaff, AZ. Its been such a joy to wake up each morning on our beautiful Ponderosa filled mountain - today with the soft snow falling. People here seem to genuinely care about others... maybe the beauty here keeps us filled with thankfulness & joy so its natural to spread it around. Anyway, my rambling ends with a prayer for Melanie & Antonio Banderas that they stay close & have peace.
