Chapter 14

"Don't forget to start a journal. I want at least one entry per day by our next meeting. Agreed?" Dr. Hawethorne stated as Sophie walked to the door.

Sophie turned around and said, "Agreed."

"Also, remember to take it easy. Do at least three pleasant things for you as well,” Dr. Hawethorne went on more gently.

"I'll remember. Thanks, Dr. Hawethorne."

"You’re welcome and please, call me Helen."

"I'll try," she said, walking out of the office. Sophie was glad to be out of there. It had been a long, emotional hour but a good one. It was refreshing to talk about David with someone who had no preconceived notions about him or, more importantly, her.

She knew this was right for her and her baby. Also, she liked having someone tell her to do something nice for herself. She'd already decided what she wanted to do.

She wanted to paint again.

At the paint store, she bought an easel, some oil and water paints and a few other items she needed. Delightfully, she thought of Phillip when she walked past the brushes, knowing she wouldn't need to buy any of those today. She’d been thinking of him a lot since their conversation, with his sister, in the mall.

She knew he was handsome and witty, but seeing him with his sister had allowed her to realize he was generous, sincere and funny as well. Very funny, she thought, wishing things were different. She knew having him in her life would be wonderful.

Sophie spent almost the entire weekend in her favorite room in the house—her art studio. The room had a huge bay window that faced the back on the house, giving her an amazing view of the leaves changing colors on the mountains. Presently, Sophie was seated on her work stool in front of an easel finishing her third painting. She'd hardly slept, her trials over the past several months pouring out of her, and onto the canvas. She had peace in this room among all of its smells, and colors. She loved the room because of the view, but also because of the way it had been decorated.

Sophie had decided to go with Frank and Ron to decorate her house. Their color choices found a place in her immediately. They seemed to know her better then she knew herself. They’d tapped into her inner joy. The house looked like a Monet painting, a wash of beautiful color. They filled the house with warm yellows, bright greens, light blue and lavender. The furniture was oversized and comfortable.

In the art studio, though, Frank and Ron had gone the extra mile. It was a large room with a walk-in closet and vaulted ceiling. They had plenty to work with, and they used the space beautifully. The walls were painted sunflower with thick mint green stripes spaced equally throughout, including the closet. On the wall opposite the door, they created a sitting area with an overstuffed couch and chair, a coffee table and two end tables, on each side of the couch.
