Sometimes beauty brings pain

The pictures below are of my office and my desk. I know I have a gorgeous office, and I love it so much! But, the desk is not practical. I honestly believe that I'm having severe pain in my neck and upper back because of the way I sit at work!

If you notice the way the keyboard sits right up on top of the desk - so already this is problem #1. My arms are always higher than they should be and this causes tension.

Problem #2 lies with the way the computer moniter is positioned off to the side. So, whenever looking at my computer (which is most of the time), my neck is turned in a different way than the rest of my body.

So, I say all this because of an episode I had last night of severe pain starting from the center of my upper back and the pain surged to the center of my chest. I thought I was having heart problems, but it turns out I have something like a pulled muscle. Man, was this painful! I'm feeling better today, although this might return tonight after spending the whole day sitting at my desk again. What I need is healing from the pain in my body and a new desk. But I don't think I will be getting a new desk, because I KNOW this one was VERY pricey. So... looks like God needs to work his mighty hand and take away all of my tension. I know He can!
