A Desk!

I am sitting at my desk.  This shouldn't seem like a big deal, I sit at my desk a lot, pretty much every day.  The thing is though, it is a significant thing, this is the first time I've done this in nearly two months.  It is right now that I realize how much I've missed it.

I'm one of those people that has to have a place.  It is here that I dream, set goals, study, write, think.  When I was in college and didn't have a desk, I would go to the same place in the old Merrill Library.  Lucky for me, there was a new popular library so this one was mostly empty.  I would go to the second floor, find a big table and stretch out all of my books and have it all open in front of me.  I made some very big decisions sitting at that table.  Heber always knew where to find me and would hunt me down to talk or share a treat together.

Here's what it looks like, yes, still a work in progress, but it's a desk!    It's a place in this house to think. I need time to focus and think about how I want my life to be.  Being intentional makes me happy, whether it's in mothering or just living, I want to do it with purpose.  So, we have a start.

The house is slowly coming along. Emphasis on the slow.  We have been to Ikea 4 times in the last month and have gone through almost five gallons of paint.  Pictures coming soon!
