While searching for images of the color pink to share for PINK SATURDAY I noticed how many photos I have of my pets in my creative space/office. Wow! I love having my sweet creatures (including kids) visit me here.
I find that I need time alone to foster my creativity; to regroup, meditate, pray, but too much alone is, well.... lonely! I am so incredibly grateful for this tiny little room, all mine to create in. And when my family visits me here, it's a blessing!
As I write this, my kitty, Janie is snoring loudly, content and warm on her perch high atop my painting cabinet.
This week I babysat my parents adorable Italian Greyhound, Benne Roo. He felt secure and happy, claiming the little bed in my studio as his. As I typed away, putting the finishing touches on our Nov/Dec issue of Mermaids of the Lake, Benne snuggled and snoozed for hours.
My son is home after being gone for 9 months and along with him, came his sweet puppy, Henry. Henry has a lot of puppy-energy, so he didn't exactly snooze on the little bed, but he did spend lots of time, jumping on it!!! Having my wonderful boy home, lounging there, also, spending time with me, catching up..... Ahhh..... I can't think of anything better.
Willie is my dog-boy and he can sleep here on this pink bed for hours. He looks pretty; his beautiful brown fur goes so nicely with bright, bubble-gum pink! Willie is obviously very secure in his manliness!
When, my 15 year-old daughter plops down on the bed and talks to me about her day, sharing the little things and big things... I have to force myself to act calm and casual so as not to scare her away!
So, as much as I cherish my alone time in this sweet little room, I cherish even more the moments where I have the company of those I love! (Just not all at once, please!)
