absorbed in light

-A color-coordinated bedroom, complete with new airy curtains and a newly-groomed (and feeling better) furball.

-A 94-year-old birthday gal telling me that she is just delighted with each day.

-Working on a mixed media painting for the local Arts Council fundraiser and enjoying the all-consuming nature of art: where I become so absorbed in textures, patterns and placement that it's only when I come up for air two hours later that I realize I'm starving and need a break.
