Let the Sun Shine In

"Energy shifts, the mind chatters, but I shall persevere in keeping that internal critic from raining on my parade."

~ Martine Gourbault

This was a pleasant, quiet morning of enjoying cool breezes and balmy sunshine.  Our cats frolicked around the backyard, trying to comprehend the odd little rock that kept sprouting legs and walking away when they weren't looking.  (The idea of "turtle" is quite foreign to our indoor cats.)  We discussed plans for our upcoming camping trip.  We corralled our Houdini cat after she slipped through a gap in the fence.  We basked in the gentle warmth of a laid-back morning.

... which was a nice break from t-shirt design.  Said t-shirt design is great and all, but it's still a time-consuming (often mind-consuming) challenge.  Wrestling with Photoshop and contest regulations and the ever-elusive inspiration will take it outta ya.  The good thing is, I've been blessed with a husband who's a super source of ideas and encouragement -- we make a great team.  I still say it's gonna pay off one of these days.  Meanwhile, bring on the turtles and sunshine.  Life is good.
