I started a new apple painting this morning around 9. Worked all day on it and quit about 3. I considered doing a couple little plein air landscapes back in the swamp this morning, but it was dark, cold and spitting snow. Naw — better to play around in a nice, warm studio with the cats, listening to classical music. Yes, there were options to go out to eat (it’s Thanksgiving), but I’m an introvert. Pizza and salad tonight. In my pajamas, watching “Silence of the Lambs” with a cat on my lap. Life is good!
One Thanksgiving I hiked in the woods all afternoon, then came home right at sunset and celebrated my freedom with a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of water. After years and years of feeling obligated to stuff myself, it felt glorious!
