It's terrible that it takes me being hooked up to an IV to make time for blogging. Or maybe it's good.... I can't decide. It is therapeutic to put my thoughts into words but I think it's also good to be so busy that I don't have time to think -- or is that called denial?
When I have alot of time on my hands, I tend to reflect on my past more than I should. Those moments are gone so it is pointless to waste time and energy on 'should haves' or 'could haves'. I could switch gears and start looking to the future - but then, it is so uncertain that I'm not sure that's very productive either. The key is probably to focus on the here and now - but why is that such a struggle? Today is the only day that is somewhat within control. What we do with it is completely up to us. Now is the time to finish those unfinished tasks, call those we've been meaning to call, send gifts to those we've wanted to help and do away with regret.
That's all easy to say when hooked up to an IV.... In about an hour, I'll get up from this comfy recliner and head out to my next appointment. Then I'll run the errands I have. Then I'll go see my bff in the hospital and then drive home. Once there, I'll get ready for Prom tonight and then tomorrow another task filled day will begin. And the blog time gets pushed to the very back....
The thoughts will still be there. Just not in word form.
Keep writing, please :)
