The View From My Office



Every now and then I think I should get a real job with regular hours and a steady paycheck. Then I have the priveledge of doing my work on the porch with my furry friend Heidi Bear while the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the warm breeze is blowing. This is when I realize the rewards of my chosen occupation include something way more important and elusive than than money- freedom and peace.























My wish for you is to find the beauty wherever your work takes you this week!
