Simple Joys

I HAVE MY OWN WORKSPACE!!!! I didn’t realize how excited this would make me. In the last several weeks I have worked at the kitchen table, my Mom’s writing desk, Dad’s desk, my sister’s art desk, bed, the landing of the staircase an on the floor. (The floor and staircase are a throwback to homeschool days. It’s comfy and you can stretch out....)

My parents must have had enough of my gypsy travels from one room to the next, because today, out of the blue they moved the keyboard and put a folding table for me to work at. This simple act brought me insane amounts of joy. I expressed enthusiasm so exuberantly my high school sister told me, “you sound like Mia from Princess Diaries”. Must admit I wasn’t sure what to do with that, normally that comparison is only made when I’m having a bad, frizzy hair day. But apparently my exuberance matched that of Genoveva’s princess discovering her room at the castle and the walk-in closet mall. To those casting concerned looks my way due to my uncharacteristically cheerful exultation I say, “It’s the little things people!” 

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have work and a desk to get back to.
