Disjointed thoughts

  • Feeling lazy (or just plain tired) tonight so Gary sent me off alone to the bedroom to decompress. While I was left by myself I got out my felt and almost finished another doughnut....there's something soothing about needlework, even if it's something totally frivolous. Sewing on beads, threading a needle, making stitches. I forget how much I enjoy that, not that I'm that great at it, but it is relaxing.
  • Watched 'Swamp Loggers' on the Discovery Channel while I stitched. Love, just love that North Carolina accent that those men have. When we lived briefly in New Bern, NC, we used to get a kick out of trying to imitate that wonderful accent. I can't get enough of it. Never mind that I'm not interested in logging. I just want to hear those guys (and one woman, so far) talk!
  • Enjoying one of the books I'm reading to review, Dr. Curt Thompson's 'Anatomy of the Soul'. I'll definitely enjoy putting up a high recommendation for that one. It's just wonderful.
  • Must be off now. Trying to not tax my brain too much, and am making attempts at practicing some of the teachings in the Thompson book. He's making me think about things, sort out some issues that have bothered me, and it's all to my benefit. Seems I've needed my own personal psychiatrist for years and didn't realize it. Feels good to sift through my head and tighten up the bolts, so to speak.
Sleep well, my sweet friends. :)
