I got it back



I got my study back! I put an exclamation mark there but I'm not really that excited. I'm just glad. For the longest times my study became the hang-out media room for all the kids. Therefore, I was never in there and it was always a mess, so I didn't even want to go in there. That wasn't good. We finally moved on a plan to buy a desk for the school room/library and move the iMac in there. Then, they cleaned up their part, I cleaned a little more (still not totally done) and I have it back.

I told Liz, I think having this space I can "retreat" into when I need to will be good for my mental health, which has been slipping of late. I've already cranked up some good old incense in there. I want to saturate the walls in there with the stuff so it smells like my own private little monastic enclosure. I'll keep workin' on it. So, if you come in and it smells "funny" - that's not funny, it smells like God. Now, for me to use it properly.

Of course I'm writing this post from the kitchen table with people all around me at the moment. I'll still do that from time to time too I'm sure. I'm what's called an omnivert - I shift back and forth between wanting to be around people and needing to be alone, almost 50/50. There are times when one or the other takes over for a while. I feel like I'm about ready for the intro side to move in here. Well, that's it for now, just wanted to share a little bit about that this morning. Soon it'll be time to run around getting ready to go to a horse show, then come back here and get ready for church tonight. Sounds like it all should be fun and exciting doesn't it? I suppose it should be, but like I said, I've been slipping lately. Peace.

three quotes |::

"Then, if we cannot as yet think alike in all things, at least we may love alike. Herein we cannot possibly do amiss."
John Wesley

"Keep your eyes on the crucifix, for Jesus without the cross is a man without a mission, and the cross without Jesus is a burden without a reliever."
Fulton J. Sheen

"...I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self."
Henri Nouwen
