I have so much on my  mind.  Thoughts run through my head and most don't seem to stick, but just keep on going, never to be remembered.  I do try to lasso some as they are passing through and I am successful some of the time.  Most of the ones that get away seem to be about improving and how to do a better job at living my life.   And most that I hold on to are about not doing more and better, but just maintaining the status quo.  Funny, isn't it?  It seems that my thoughts get comfortable and like to hang around as long as I don't challenge them or try to hassle them by improvement.  That's why change is such a hard thing.  We get too comfortable and that makes it easy to let better ideas just come and go without serious consideration.  I am guilty of that.

BUT, I have captured some and worked them into my reality on occasion and I figure that I am the better for it.  Sheila would agree, I believe, that we can point to certain attributes and character traits that have been honed and nurtured and are a part of me.  Once there they are not always obvious, but do come out and play on certain occasions.  When you get old and gray that process becomes more important because other processes are fading away and getting less and less, and because you actually chose to pursue them instead of other things that are more worldly and less valuable.  It's all part of this grand journey that is our life. I don't always do it well, but sometimes I have done it right and have been blessed by the results.
