Welcome back!

My office in 2005

I absolutely adore working from home.  Take today, for example:  I have exactly one task for the entire day and then I can use the rest of the time as I choose.  My office has gone through many changes over the years, but this was the only decent picture I could find.  I use my third bedroom as an office.  It’s right next to my bedroom, so I can check emails first thing in the morning.

My pets visit me frequently in the office.  I installed a sliding glass door where you see the window on the left side of the picture above, and they go in and out through the office.  They generally stop for a quick pet on the return trip and if I am concentrating, they’ll just sit there and wait for me to realize they’re there.  If I take too long, they purr to wake me up! 

I am grateful for the flexibility of  hours, the fuel savings, the comfort, the ability to concentrate without corporate-America office distractions, and the low overhead.  I love the decor that surrounds me.  I have a calendar with pictures of my friend Bennie and his dog, Frodo; I have a doll that says “I’m a singin’and dancin’ Goddess of crazy Love’;  I have a brand new HP Officejet Pro 8500; I have the curtains that I made which match the border I installed (not shown in picture above); I have a wonderful tensor light for my desk area; and I have a wonderful new office chair that my son Seth got for me.

So, today, I’m filled with gratitude for all of these things and for knowing that I created them in my experience.

Love,

Pat
