Support

Out West

Although I frequently steal time, often my husband gives it to me as a gift.  "I've got the dishes tonight. You go downstairs to your clay," he often says.  "Do you want me to put her to bed so you can keep working?"  These blessed moments continue when he gives me the gift of a morning or afternoon when he takes our kids out so I can have a quiet house in which to work.  After we had children, we learned quickly that when one of is busy, both of us are busy. When one of us has a commitment that takes us away from our family, the other has to fill in. 

Professor Joyce Owens once told me creative people need someone supportive to be able to do their art.  I am grateful for my support, my best friend, my husband.
