moving things around

I have a friend whose husband moves their furniture around once a quarter. There was a time that I thought, “Wow! That’s a lot of effort!” I get it now though. (Friends teach me so much.) There is something wonderful that happens to a space when you move furniture around. It breathes new life into a space and somehow it sings in a new way.

Moving your whole living room around is a bit too complex for this prompt, instead we’re being encouraged to move one small thing in our home around or clean/tidy a small space. Here are some ideas, choose one:

• clear everything off your nightside table and put it elsewhere so you have a cleared space to sleep

• move your couch and vacuum underneath it, wash the floor if it’s hardwood, then put the couch back

• take all the plates out of the kitchen cupboard, wipe down the shelves and put them back in a way that feels good in this moment

• weed and sweep a patio area

• change the positions of photos/knickknacks in one area of your home

• organize a creative space so everything’s put away nicely and ready for you to come back to it and play
