Do you ever get sick and tired of hearing yourself talk
Or better yet, do you ever get sick and tired of hearing yourself talk inside your own head?
I'm there.
I'm sick of talking about what I want, where I should be, where I should be going and my overall state of mind.
I'm here ....
My mind races like greyhounds running for the rabbit
I try to calm it by breathing long deep breaths
I try to calm it by being with my sweet baby girl
I try to calm it by sitting with nature
I try to calm it by listening to my favorite music in my car
And it works....for a while....
I'm here...
Trying to be still....
This week I have made a commitment to listen to music or NPR programs while I'm working rather than have silence, because the silence keeps me in my head too much. So far it is working! Gets me thinking about other things besides my own weird stuff.

I always have some place within my potential and possibility that I want to be. I seem to always be striving for that instead of just accepting the here and now. It gets so exhausting. Sometimes I think the need for a deeper, more meaningful life is such a blessing...at other times I think its a curse.
