the stuff of life

I have been known to move the furniture around here. I might have mentioned my husbands worst fear is that he will go blind and trip over something.  I used to move furniture as a distraction.  When I was upset, or not feeling good about myself.  Somehow when we are unhappy with ourselves we become unhappy with those around us and even with our surroundings.  There was an internal contentedness missing.  That has changed, well at least changing. I still move furniture, but for different reasons.  Now it purely the creative part of me that likes to change things up a bit.

I like this arrangement - for now. :)  The fireplace was originally a coal burning fireplace. The opening is small, but for some reason the brick area is huge.  I really dislike it.  It takes up way too much floor space.  As you can see the leather chairs are in front of it.  I'll move them when we begin to use it.

Thanks so much for all your prayers regarding my health, and for Meg's move. This is her last day and I still feel crappy. Yesterday the headache was gone and I was able to get some things accomplished. This morning the headache returned so I would appreciate your continued prayers.

Tonight the family is gathering for dinner. We are taking her to one of her favorite restaurants to get the meal she gets every single time we go there.  Oh hell, I am getting teary as I type this, how am I ever going to get through this?? Okay, I know I will.  This is a good thing, but it's harder on this Ole heart than I expected!
