If you’re just tuning in, I quit my day job back in October to pursue photography full-time. At least, that’s the spiel I always dole out. Really, though, I quit my day job back in October to pursue life and my own personal happiness. Sometimes when I haven’t seen a friend in a long time, when we reconnect the first thing they usually ask me is, “How are things since you quit your job?”
I only wish I could just refer them to this post and these photos. I can’t tell you how much I love having my mornings back. All to ourselves. Just me, Chris, the cats and a rain spattered window. To not be the first one awake (for once); To lazily roll over and touch our toes together as if to say “Good morning”; To be lured into the kitchen by the smell of coffee; To know that our days can take us as far as our imaginations are willing to stretch…
…But usually, we just settle for a cup of coffee and a good book.
Life is good, friends. Life is real good.
Thanks for sharing, Kim!! Have followed your work for some years and every time I see your name I know I’m gonna love the pics!
Recently came back to “you” through your website (was disconnected for a while) and read your post on how you quit your day job. I thank you for those words… it helped me a lot, I needed it and I needed that inspiration. I need to start seeing things differently and your work (and even the place you live in!) inspire me so much.
I’m glad you’re happy, enjoying your time and your own life, the one you draw every day and every morning.
Keep on, girl! ;)
Ps. Don’t you get freezing cold sleeping by the window!? Although it must be amazing!!! :D
Emma, thank you so much! I’m happy that my post was able to help and inspire you on your own path to happiness. :) As for sleeping by the window — it’s so funny! I’ve gotten so many comments about it. I’m a very “hot” person, so I will wake up in a sweat every night if it weren’t for the window! Plus, the ambient noises (wind, cars, etc) from outside help me fall asleep. I really can’t do it any other way!
