reorganization

I just spent the morning/afternoon reorganizing and rearranging my room. I spend a lot of time in my room, as it is where I sleep, where I read, where I study and often where I pray. When I arrived last September the first thing I did was move all the furniture around. I suppose I needed to create my space.

So why did I reorganize it again (including moving some but not all of the furniture around)? Well for one thing, it was satisfying! For another, I needed a different energy in the room. My chair was facing the window. I've rearranged this so that now, when I sit in my chair, I can still look outside the window but I can also look around the room at my pictures and artwork. It's more open now.

But the main reason I suppose was that I've been feeling a lack of control with a particular unbloggable situation, and so I gravitated toward something that I could "fix" in the span of a few hours. The end result, I must say, is just what I needed. I'm happy and content, and now that I know what books are in my "to read" and "in process" piles (since I had to move them around), I'm going to turn off the computer, sit in my chair, and give the books a little quality time.
