There have only been a few years in my life when I've had a room of my own. Growing up, I shared a room with my sister. When I moved away to college and then to the city to start my adult-life-away from home, I almost always shared rooms with roommates and (for a few years) my sister again. There were really only about two years just before I got married that I had my very own bedroom.
Tonight I'm feeling a little giddy, because I finally have a room of my own. It's a tiny little room that's more like a cocoon (only about 7 feet by 10 feet with no windows), but it's big enough for a desk, a chair, a lamp, and some cushions on the floor. I think I can even manage to spread out my yoga mat in here.
I'm blogging from my new little room right now and I feel so very, very happy. Finally I have a space to escape to when I want to do uninterrupted creative things like paint, write, and just imagine possibilities.
I'll write more about it soon - and even post pictures. But for now, I'm just sitting here basking in the glow.
It feels rather serendipitous that I moved in here on the evening of the full moon.

Congratulations on your cocoon-y very own room! It must feel fantastic. Can't wait to read what you write from there...
You are in good company with Virginia Wolf..Love, Orly
Oh, Heather, I want to see photos!
Yeah!!!!
Yes - pictures please.
Congratulations on having your own space! Luxuriate!
That's wonderful. All my life I've found a tiny room to call my own. Most of the time, it's been a closet but that's fine with me. I can't wait to hear all about the fun, creative things you've done in your tiny little room.
oh i want to bring over a bottle of champagne so we can christen it some evening. perhaps after folk fest!
Thanks for all your kind thoughts, everyone! I hope to have pictures up by tonight. And I've got a special request for all of you too - watch for it in my next post.
So happy for you. After re-organizing my studio so many months ago today was my first real day in it and it has been bliss. We all need a private space of our own.
i have a house of my own and the more i am in it the less i want to share it... and certainly not for any length of time
