WOMEN ARE GENERALLY GREAT AT MULTI-TASKING. Is that a given? Supposedly we are comfortable in this juggling act of getting things done. The thought of getting all accomplished that needs completed before an event seems like a race in high gear to cross over the finish line in style.
Not a hair out of place with no sweat. Ta daaaaaaah. Done.
For many reasons, I have become a challenged contestant. My mind runs faster than my feet these days. A thought starts and before I know it, it vanishes into the cosmosphere of forgetfulness.
It takes energy to recall what just vanished from the conscious mind. I don't like this phenomenon.
I have not been able to relax about this when it happens. It really does a number on me. It's like I am chasing after something as it slips through my fingers. The grasp is fruitless and I cannot stop it from getting away from me as I run for it. The thought vapor locks and is GONE. What was I thinking? Don't know.
Eventually the thought returns like a boomerang returning to its master. Oh yah. If I don't take care of it that very second it might slip away and disappear again. Jot that puppy down. Do not misplace the note or it's gone and may not return until 3 in the morning or on a Spring day out of the blue it returns.
Some of this is typical with the aging mind...some is not but a symptom not to be ignored. Checking into brain health leads to the Pineal Gland. I'm tellin' ya I never knew this gland existed until recently.
Reading about it led me into a different universe. I don't want to get into the third eye realm or any other highly spiritual dimension that others believe is the mother lobe of new age thinking, but believe that this gland definitely has a serious function or GOD would not have designed it for our bodies especially our brains. Vivid dreams take place and this may be the Keeper of Dreamland.
This gland can become calcified and cause health issues destructive to our well being. SO I researched how to decalcify the Pineal Gland.
Interesting gland and I forgot what I was about to say.
SO today I will continue working at getting caught up on that 'ole laundry that just seems to breed more dirty laundry. Before company comes I'd like to be caught up on it as I feel better knowing it is done for a few days.
I will be gathering a miniature Christmas Village out of storage to display on my Grandma's Hutch in the entryway. I think this will be a nice touch to our HOME.
As for tidying the house...it needs attention. Paperwork needs attention. Attention needs attention.
CHRISTMAS CHEER continues. Christmas Cards will be minimal. Have hopes of getting these out this next week. Christmas SWEETS next week as I purchase and gather up ingredients this week, I'll hopefully fix next week. Sorta HOME-MADE will help.
Yesterday I ate at the Health Food Store. The ingredients in this soup ran long as I reassured myself this is good for me. I left the store with a Green Tropical smoothie for the road. I went to TARGET and took my time getting reaquainted with their NEW LOOK. They had remodeled once again. Took my time and did a little Christmas shopping.
Off to pharmacy to purchase a 3 month supply of my thyroid meds then to ALDIs to grocery shop. My quick trip to buy milk and coffee creamer turned into a I HAD BETTER GET THAT TODAY OR IT WILL BE GONE NEXT WEEK trip. Then drove to the cottage to do a load of laundry and group Christmas boxes together to be better organized.
Did I multi-task enough? It seems like it is never enough. My BAD. My bad. It is taking some praying to change my attitude.
Today I will stay on course and be happy about it. Amen. The course may change and I will have to accept that. STAYING FLEXIBLE which is greatly needed is an adventure.
God's Blessings to you on this cold wintery day,
