Can't Stand Still

Sometimes I get restless. I can only sit in one attitude so long. My legs get jumpy, I have this desire to go outside and breathe fresh air-I just can't stand sitting anymore; it happens in class, during rehearsals, at home, {usually during FHE} etc.
But the worst cases of restlessness are often suffered mentally. Those same symptoms apply to my mental state just as much as they do to my physical state: I get tired of where I am. If I get too comfortable in one situation, I long to leap up. I get distracted from what I'm currently working on, and I just want to go and try something new and exciting. Where I am at drives me bonkers for the sole reason that I've been there too long.
I am currently suffering from the worst bout of restlessness I think I ever have. I guess I've just been sitting here for so long, and I am ready to go breathe some fresh air and run and leap! Looking longingly out the window, I yearn for the freedom, newness, and the bracing challenge of the world outside.

The orange trees are yielding as much fruit as I think they ever have. We have definitely gotten in our vitamin C and sunshine!
