I've had a real busy week. It's strange to be so deep inside projects, and then to look up and see what's happening in the world. I read this post from Kate at Longest Acres Farm, and it crystallized for me the feeling of watching what is happening in Texas. She has some excellent links in her stories right now, or you can also help a bunch of places at once right here.
So this week has been a week of thanks for me. Thanks that I have a home with electricity and running water, and heat. Thanks that I have a partner that will hold me up (and down) when I need it. Thanks that I have been able to create a life for myself in the past two years that is both challenging and rewarding. And also, fun.
I received some stellar photos of a recently finished project earlier this week, and that joy has pulled me through the rest of the week. Because through a magical combination of timing and chutzpah, the extremely rare occurrence of a designing two houses in one week is currently underway for me. So I'm also thankful for understanding clients as well as the fact that I've gotten myself set-up to be able to do the work I love at a speed that works with everyone's timeline.
But I'm also very thankful for coffee this week.
