We only have a two-room apartment and didn't think we could have children after years of treatments, so a lot of stuff had to be thrown out, new more child-friendly furniture bought etc. I really dreaded this in the beginning - all the time we had to spend on cleaning up and cleaning out. But I find that I feel a lot better and more energetic with regard to writing, when I come home - even after 8 hours in front of another screen (I do webdesign, so it's not like I miss sitting in front of screens).<br /><br />It was a nice surprise, the extra energy that came along for writing stories and blogging, after all that 'house make-over'.

I want to publicly apologize to anyone missing theirs. <br /><br />I'm sorry you've been sad, Chrys. I think your actions to reclaim your inner joy is going in the right direction. Your desk looks inspiring. I meditate for this reason and can only promise if you choose to try it, stick with it for at least a month, the rewards will reveal themselves. Blessings.
