My Muse Wants

I was reading an article (don't shoot me, I'm not sure where it was - popped up in my Google+ feed and now I can't find it) about what fuels the Muse.

I did a lot of thinking and sleeping and dreaming about this - when I woke up this evening it was perfectly clear to me.

My Muse wants

• Chocolate & Coffee & medium rare Ribeye steaks
• Cuddles & giggles from my Bunny
• Sleeping late with NightShade
• Blanket forts & cookies
• Bento making 
• iPod playlists
• Texty conversations that make me laugh out loud (thank you Shining Star)
• Pretty little birds flocking around the feeders
• Snuffly snuggles from my sweet Divo
• Flowers for no reason 
• Just Because gifts
• Wasted time well spent
• Trips to the beach & the mountains & DC & adventure
• Painted nails & pretty hair

In other words, my Muse needs me to stop and refill as often as needed because I empower her just as much as she empowers me. She needs me to stop putting everyone else first and occasionally put my foot down and say No - I need my me time.
