5 Things I Learned This Week
Life is about learning, acknowledging, and rejecting.
Thing One
My jeans are bit tight, and I really should watch what I eat. I should also go for long brisk walks to burn some calories. I wipe the sugar cookie crumbs from my cheeks. Did I miss my mouth?
It looks like rain today.
Maybe I’ll walk tomorrow. Yep, tomorrow sounds like a plan. I’ll pencil it in. Pencil, not pen! I can erase pencil.
Thing Two
I think better in the shower. Maybe it’s because I’m alone. The water gushing over my head drowns out the world and I can think without interruption. It’s a blissful moment.
My memory is like a strainer. So, by the time I’m dressed all my ideas are gone. As if they followed the water down the drain. I must remember to take pen and paper into the bathroom.
My mind wonders which means, paper and pen may never travel to the bathroom. Sigh.
Thing Three
I don’t have to read about negative things. I can reject them. I can focus on the positive. My growth and happiness can be a priority. Like sugar cookies. In this case, growth may show up on my hips. Damn cookies.
