I’m completely in my relaxed and peaceful happy place when I’m sitting next to Parsley.
He lives right next to my seat at our kitchen workbench. So when we eat dinner or play games, I’m sitting by him and being with him. Whether he’s sleeping or gliding or munching, I love being with him. I can feel myself relaxing when I’m near him.
Benjamin most often uses the workbench for his creative projects. I have two other desks that I split my work between. But when I’m hanging out with Benjamin I sit at the table with him, in my spot next to Parsley. This evening, I brought my paints. It’s the first time I’ve painted here. I always opt for the floor or my desk instead. But this evening has been a revelation.
There is nothing like painting rainbow mushrooms next to my sleeping snail. I felt such a deep contentment and found myself reflecting on how grateful I am. How I feel like this is what it feels like to be living my best and most ideal life. And how lucky I feel to be able to experience such deep and profound contentment in that.
