Busy or Torture

I was reminded of a recent conversation with a friend today...

For some people, some of the time, being busy is a blessing. To be alone with their thoughts could be torturous.

  1. Some days I DO NOT want to be left alone with my thoughts - :)
    On other days.. I enjoy drifting.
    In fact, it's funny, but just today I was having a conversation with Kas.. and asked her if she had any ideas of what I could do with my thoughts when I'm doing things that don't require concentration - like washing dishes... or walking to the gym (as I was at the time)..
    So of course, Kas goes for something creative, and says.. 'observe the world around you, and create 'life metaphors'.
    Huh? I said
    Well, she said.. for example.. you see a couple one is stick thin and the other jolly round... and you think to yourself.. 'hmmmm they look like a number '10'!!
    So I said.. is that really the most productive thing I could do with my mind? LOL.. and of course it really is a wonderful thing to do.. because you get to sharpen your brain with creativity!!!
    Well... I wasnt all that successful in coming up with humorous metaphors.. but I decided to just observe...
    it's a start!
    :-)

    and that's me hogging your post, Ezzie..
    (at least I broke the ice! (Ouch! It's cold!)
