Dorothy Parker - "I hate writing, I love having written."

One day, out of nowhere, the above line became a descriptive mantra much like a music refrain we can't erase, year-in and year-out . I remember the exact moment. Bent over in my garden pulling weeds I stood and shouted, "I hate gardening, I love having gardened." Dorothy's lines define my relationship with daily and seasonal chores.
 
But, there are periods when I don't hate, and one is in my studio. Studio time evokes many emotions but never hate or dislike.
 
Dorothy shows me,
I am where I belong.
