Fresh

I feel restless. I've been tossing and turning at night - unable to just fall asleep for long stretches at a time. I'm bored with a lot of different things: my home decor and furniture arrangement. I've watched everything on Netflix and then some. Even my cereal feels like it's getting dull. I suspect that feeling is to blame for a blog overhaul and it has resulted in a much needed surge of energy for blogging. I feel inspired to actually create posts rather than dread having to come up with something new.

I'm trying to that sort of purge in other areas of my life too. This weekend I deep cleaned my bedroom - organized my calligraphy desk and pile of papers, organized the bookshelves and vacuumed the accumulated dust up. I got rid of things that just don't fit anymore, took down art that was always meant to be a placeholder and reframed some photos. It felt good to have a space that was free of dust and pet dander and things that I don't need anymore. The space feels open and clean - enough room to let me think about what I'm revamping next.

On top of cleaning, I started working out again and decided to try something entirely new: running. I've never run in my life (save for the few times I was forced to run the mile in high school and failed miserably at it) and so this has felt brand new to me. Every day has the potential for a (albeit very small) PR. It feels good to have something brand new to look forward to every single day. Like a rush of cool evening breeze blowing through a hot house.

Here's to getting my energy back!
