Simple Pleasures

Posted by in Marlene's Feel Good Blog | 0 comments

Here’s Something to Feel Good About Today…

I slept late today, until noon! To be awakened by my cat, sprawled across me and blissfully purring on my chest. Paws outstretched her face was about 1inch from mine. I turned to fall back to sleep but she was persistent, now on her back begging to have her tummy stroked. I couldn’t resist.

For about half an hour I lay next to her stroking her face and ears, gushing her belly. I noted the length of her white whiskers her unique markings, those magical green eyes and most of all her gentle, sweet temperament. She was in heaven and for this short time so was I.

At first I felt guilty; I had so many other things to do. But it had been awhile since I spent that much time doing nothing but enjoying her company. I realized there was nothing more important than taking this time to relish my cat and in doing so I felt terrific gratitude to have her in my life.

We are all so busy, let’s not forget to take the time to enjoy the simple pleasure in life.

My passion has always been storytelling whether that involves writing or imagery. Following this passion, I built a 20-year career licensing my unique hand painted illustrations and product designs to renowned companies in the gift, paper, and home décor categories. My clients include Waterford Wedgwood, Tiffany & Co., George Caspari, Shurman Fine Papers, Block China, Simon & Schuster, Random House, Cartier, Shaw Living, Stephen Lawrence, and many more.

Now, my passion has taken me to blogging, compiling, and sharing stories of people who in their own small way have made a difference in someone’s life; stories that have the amazing ability to reawaken our senses to experience everything that is and can be good in the world and connect us with each other.
