A Welcome Distraction

I live in a modest apartment. I use a secondhand dining room table as my rickety desk. I make words come to life by the speed of my thoughts and fingers.

This is how I write.

Along comes a cat. Yet I power through, attempting to ignore warmth for the sake of accomplishment.

Then, I surrender. Because a welcome distraction is always welcome. It reminds me of life—its tangibility, its humor, its comfort.

Today…get distracted.
