The observers face and the knowing myself smile. Perhaps it’s a “been there” face, or one that says, “We are not alone in how we feel, or with what we think about”, face. It seems to say, despite what is going on in the world at this time I am ok. Even though things are not ok elsewhere. Inside how I feel_____. Another matter. It is how we look at things that matters most.

I have been thinking a lot about how thinking and having thoughts lead us, especially where they lead us. My research about the mind and consciousness lead me.

I woke up and sensed I had one of those clouds over my head. But it turns out that my mood stems from the fact that it is time to clean and clear my cottage so I can work with a nice space around me. Doing something about “it” will lift my mood and push the cloud away. I have been working (writing and reading), and doing things with kids, adding cluttered areas to my space, these can only be ignored so long. And I have not packed things for the summer house. This is one reason for the clutter. When you put things off you dread beginning. The just do it attitude is best at this point, and then it’s the surprise how little time it took.

The problem begins with the sense of having “the cloud” and then putting off discerning why it’s there. I don’t want to get stuck in a loop of thinking about “it”. This is good! Because I know about the problem of stacking up all the whys of what “it” truly is about. The thing I have come to realize is that I could pop a lot of possible things in there and build on them. I don’t want to do that. This behavior has become a surface thing, and when I feel inside deeper seeing it for what it is helps. That is why this image works today. I recognize what is happening and I am saying no to it! That will change my mood and they day will not fall into a lost day with a cloud. So, we must give fleeting recognition to the reason behind the cloud. Mine is what I have not done but need to do, and the list seems to grow. Over thinking is being overwhelmed. Thew next thing is what is truly important this day?

Finding a positive way to look at one’s life, and what needs to be done is a good thing. Knowing that one’s thoughts lead you to back up those thoughts____ we need to take control of what we come to believe about ourselves and others, about the world at large because its a whole lot of others thinking in this same way that has brought us to this point. It’s like a virus gone wild. We have fallen into a way of being that does not feel they have control over words and actions. We are in the driver’s seat. We need to take the time to find ourselves there. Not every thought that comes up runs true, we don’t have to go down rabbit holes. Stop and build better foundation out of what is solid.
