I have a new little quiet corner in which to do my school
work. We cleaned up a corner in the
rarely used family room, put in a desk and I moved many of my books and
supplies into the space. It’s cozy and a
room I can retreat to when I need to be separated from the distractions I seem
to always encounter working at the dining room table, which is a wide open
space between the kitchen, great room and living room—kind of a conduit to
everywhere. The only problem? No internet service. Our wireless router doesn’t like something
that must be in the way.
This may be a very good thing, as long as I don’t need the
internet to do my homework. It will keep
me focused by eliminating the internet distraction that creeps ever so easily
into my day. Good thing I have a laptop
and can move around the house to take care of the urges and temptations! But I
sure hope I am able to stay put long enough to accomplish something!
Dear God, bless my little corner, my light, my books, my
pens and pencils. Guide my path as I
make this transition into more solitude; give me patience to accomplish what I
need to do in a more timely, less distracted manner. With your help, I think I can embrace this
change and use it to do good things.
Amen.
