contemplating...

Thinking is hard work. There's actually a dearth of good thought, but that's a topic for another day's blog... The crush & rush of the urgent, with too much to do w/too little time battles against clear processing... Still, battle I will, for thinking through details is a requirement for the day.

In times where I've got to think, I have found that it helps for me to get involved in doing something that occupies my attention like reading, (bout time to go through LOTR again) watching a favorite DVD (Stargate SG-1, MacGyver, or Monk)... Brain clutter begins to fall away like dust mice...

I like to go to the park on Wednesday nights, when all the weight of the world is crushing me. It's nice to take a leisurely stroll whilst letting my mind just relax . . . maybe throw a few bums in the river. I find that I wake up fresh as a daisy on Thursday morning.

Be careful mousey pants or you might find yourself in the river with some buddies.

i think too much. much of my thinking is extremely unproductive as you are all aware now that i publish many of my thoughts for your consumption.

can i borrow season 1 of monk?

lighten up & just live? wow. just live based upon what? my feelings?

i've also heard that thinking too much leads to great analysis, keen problem solving skills, a developed sense of responsibility, thoughtfulness, & other terribly weighty things like that.

no offense taken - i was aiming for clarification; also, it's a good illustration that this forum can be a spot where misunderstandings happen, as you can't see the person you're interacting with, you can't 'hear' their tone, see facial expression, etc.
anyhow, thanks for the kind words -
