Heading into Thursday, and a fitting quote....


The doctor always knows best.... and in this instance, the Doctor is Dr. Seuss.
"I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!"

After a hard day of work, and many troubles, the mental picture that this brings to mind is just.... hilarious. If only the swing of a bat would frighten troubles away. But unfortunately, most "troubles" don't scare that easily. My best bet is to try and not let things get to me, but it is easier said than done...

Sometimes it gets tiring living for the weekends... I need a major re-adjustment when it comes to dealing with my troubles, or letting them deal with me.

Some day I may come across a way to deal with the stresses of daily life... But until then, a mental wiffle bat may just do the trick.

A sudden thought....

Not sure why all of a sudden I feel like writing.  I don't know anyone who would read it.  Maybe it is just for myself... Or no one at all.  I have had this blog for over two years, yet I only posted one thing.  Like so many of my projects, I start with the best of intentions, but soon get bored and move on to other, more interesting things.  Or so I like to believe.

So many tidbits of information floating around in my brain....  Some more useless than useful.

I spend my days wondering about what I am going to do later.  Not a bad thing, not a good thing.  However time does pass so quickly when you spend most of it looking forward to tomorrow.

I am going to make a conscious effort to spend less time worrying my days away.... and more time living them.  Even if it is just at work, or cleaning the house, or reading the book, or drawing, painting, making jewelry, talking to Ben, writing letters to family members, talking on the phone, reorganizing my guest room, shopping, praying, cooking, eating....

I guess you could say that I have a lot more to look forward to, then just what's coming next.

We will see how long this lasts.  I am hopelessly optimistic.
