Something to Be Said For Being Settled

We moved this weekend. Actually, as I write this article, I'm sitting on a box in what used to be my living room—not the most comfortable situation but as we haven't gotten internet set up in the new house yet, this box will have to do instead of a comfy sofa.

Either way, this moving experience got me thinking about how nice it is to just be settled and how much I sometimes take it for granted. It's funny because as I sit here in this empty room, I realize that the familiar routine I've had has inspired me with pretty much everything… my works, my job, my blog, etc.  It's not something you expect to realize as I always thought the spontaneous was what grounded and inspired me.

So now I have a few questions for you all. What inspires you? Do you prefer the spontaneous or the mundane? Are you able to work when pulled out of your routine or does it throw off your day? Maybe you should try to throw yourself off your routine for a day and see how it works for you. You might be surprised at how much you get done or how much more you appreciate in your routine.

All right, that's it for today. Happy writing this week and talk to you all next week!
