Mental Jogging

Mental Jogging


My mind has been doing some mental jogging here today. And I have to say from it I am quite exhausted. However I have not done very much today at all. Instead of focusing on the task at hand, the one thing that I think that I should do my mind is coming up and thinking about 10 other things instead. Don’t I have a load of laundry I need to take out of the dryer? Did I fold those towels i put in the bucket when i put the new load of laundry in the dryer? What shall I make for dinner? Do I really have anything that will sound appetizing not just to me but to the rest of the family? Maybe I should clean out the fridge and get rid of the old stuff? Wait, today isn’t trash day, so clearing the fridge would be better task for tomorrow.Is there something else that I am forgetting to take care of? What shall do I need to get done the next two days, so that I am ready for a four day weekend?

Craziness to keep running through all these different scenarios but to end up back at square one. Trying to figure out is there something that I need to be thinking about, but really my mind is pulling this number so that I won’t stop in my tracks and just deal with it. I do think that there is something that has been troubling my heart. Maybe it has been noodling in the back of my mind, and its trying to make itself known front and center. When I sit down to think of this, as I am sitting down now, I can’t quite pin the tail on the donkey so to speak. I’m close - but probably not in the direction I need to be. So again my mind wanders around, is it the donkey. Now you know the OTHER name for donkey. Could that particular topic be just what i need to focus on. Sure can be a pain in the DONKEY, and certainly has been for a long time. Though I ponder which direction do I focus my gaze? Do I look through the window, or do I need a mirror? I am pretty sure it is a window - looking outward at the donkey. But what test do I apply here, too just make 100% certain I have the proper heading.

Now don’t you just love it, when someone writes, and circles around an idea but doesn’t quite really get to the direct point of what they are really trying to say. They write so that all parties involved are to remain anonymous. And if someone would happen to come across such works, they can’t PIN it on you. Oh how I love visual analogies, and this to me has certainly been on. At least by now I have a little bit of focus, so that I can process the thoughts that need to be dealt with. Do I need to run the vacuum?

Mental Jogging - can be such a time waster, certainly can be frustrating. May also be a way to protect. That might be another potential possibility. Guess I won’t know, until I get the towels folded.
