sunshine makes me happy...

When you’re self-employed, there’s a measure of freedom that you can chose to either control or ignore.

I worked much of last weekend, as I do on more occasions than care to admit to myself.

This last week has given us rainy, cold, even some snowy weather. It happens, even here in Atlanta.

I’m a girl of certain needs. ONE is sunshine on my face. Yesterday I confided to a friend or two that I was way down in the dumps. Holidays do that to me. My parents have long since passed away and my brothers are scattered. Something about missing the kids of your youth…

 Anyway, today brought us weather akin to April. I swear, it’s spring in ATL the sun is shinning, the wind is blowing, and I’m once again finding myself on the front porch working. What a blessing this is.

 The advantages of being self-employed are just this. Okay, Worked all weekend in my cold studio with my measly little space heater and my jacket to keep warm. Oh, and occasionally my dog in my lap. Today, I’m feeling no guilt, (okay, maybe just a bit) sitting here in the sun, dog at my feet, wind chimes playing amazing music to my ears and while I shut my eyes to brainstorm, I’ve allowed myself to feel the moment. Wind is loud. Sun is warm; music is “in the moment”. All is god. I mean, good. What’s the difference? 0.

Happy day my friends, happy day.
