kivrin: A nineteenth-century painting that looks like me (whistler - miss lillian woakes)

the sort of thing I used to say here

I noticed a few months ago that my preferred way of sitting on the floor has changed.

I used to really like to have one or both of my knees pulled up to my chest. It was such a characteristic pose that when my father was traveling and found a pin with a picture of a woman sitting that way on it, he bought it for me.

These days, though, I really like sitting cross-legged.

It's easy to put this down to ways my body has changed over the past several years. On the other extreme, it feels Pollyanna-ish to read it like my therapist does as 'increased comfort taking up space.'
