Life's alright
Nov. 25th, 2003 11:29 amI'm doing pretty well these days. The house is really starting to come together. I'm hoping to make actual long term changes in me...changes that will affect how I interact with my environment.
I really believe that psychological health and one's physical environment are causally linked. (Not casually, causally.) Its an interactive relationship. When I'm feeling particularly sane, my house stays at a higher level of cleanliness. The more inner chaos I'm experiencing, the more outer chaos I'm living in. The cool thing is, it works both ways. Cleaning house always makes me feel saner. So, in an effort to permanently improve the quality of life of myself and those around me, I'm attempting to actually keep our house nice. Its weird, but its really working. I'm also journalling a lot more than I ever have before. I've started a second, private, LJ wherein I post boring things like menus and to do lists. Just having my list on the internet (where
dirocyn will see it and ask about it) has made a tremendous difference.
So, go me!
On other fronts, I've actually started writing some. I'm working on two different HP fanfic stories. It's fun. I've a natural talent for mimicking that seems to serve me well here.
