I was about to shut the computer down late last night when I glanced at the random blog button. It was past midnight and the whole household was sound asleep - my husband snoozing with a book propped up on his chest. LOL. Midnight is quite late for a natural early bird like me, yet I clicked on the button. An hour later my eyelids felt like lead, but my heart was full.

This morning I continued my random journey through other homeschool mom's and a few homeschool kid's online journals. It has been really enjoyable. I have added several of the blogs to my friends list. It felt a little odd adding them when all I did was come across their blogs; they 'don't know me from Adam'. But I wanted to easily visit their blogs again and I guess that is a terrific way to make new freinds. LOL.

OK, OK, by now you may be asking, "What's up with the title 'I haven't moved the furniture around in years'?" As I was reading the blogs, I picked up on several that had a familiar restlessness. That same restlessness energy I used to feel way back when we began homeschooling. For me, it revealed itself in everything from curriculum hopping to moving the furniture around regularly.

I realized how peaceful and non-restless I have become in recent years. I don't know if that is maturity (no snickering from the audience), the seasoning of becoming a homeschool veteran of 14 years, the fact that I have reached the place where my working with the kids has proven fruit so I don't have to doubt myeslf at every turn anymore, or just plain old age seeping in. LOL. But, I have been content. Oh, there are plenty of areas that I want to explore, improve in, do and be, and go find out about, but it just feels different now. The creating, the exploring, the doing and being just seems to happily fill my cup now - satisfaction, even satiation at times. The cup isn't any smaller. On the contrary it is larger than ever before, but I guess I just don't spill the contents as much as I used to. :0)
