I've Gone to
Look for
Myself.
If I should return
before I get back,
PLEASE KEEP
ME HERE!
Yes, RATTLED: that's the only way I can describe how I've felt the last few days. Like PMS all over again. I start to do one thing and think of something else that needs attention and go to that and forget that when something else draws my attention. Then before I get to that something else, I forget what I was going to do.Phew! It's exhausting. And that's something else I feel--exhaustion. And that song that we sang all weekend, "Thank You for Lifting My Head," is playing in my mind over and over. It's a lovely song, a great song, a great message--but I'd like it to stop now, please.
I don't know, maybe it's my brain trying to tell me that I'm trying to do too many things at once. DUH! Which one should I leave off? As I typed that, I heard a little voice in my mind asking, "Which one would you like to do?" And I answered, "Straighten up my sewing room so that I can use it again."
So that's what I'm going to do--starting tomorrow. Today is already spoken for. I'm having lunch with friends today. Stuart's (my accountant and friend) staff is throwing a little party for me and him (we share a birthday month) at his office. And tonight I have an Emmaus gathering at church. But tomorrow, watch out sewing room, here I come.

Sewing souns good to me. Hope it doesn't make you too tired sorting out the room. Just clear enough to make it comfortable and possibel to sew.
Cheers Ruth

Oh honey, I hear you! Just a few days ago another friend and I were writing back and forth about our shared tendency to start one thing, pick up an item to take it to where it belongs, then something there catches our eye so we deal with that, then yet another thing snags our attention ... and on it goes. It is tiring and only bits of this, that, and the other thing are accomplished. Whew!! You are not alone!
As for the song in your head, put on a favorite CD and get a different song for your head!
Enjoy your party and Emmaus night.
Hugs!

Having been where you are now, I think what your brain is suffering from is grief. There's a big hole in your life and you keep searching to fill it. I was crazy for two years and it took me two more years to know I was crazy!!! In the meantime, I lost my dog, met a man who took a great deal of my money, moved to another town, had a heart attack, but, thanks to God's mercy, I survived, got to the other side and feel good again. You sound like you are conscious of your physical and mental health and will perserve. Hang on!!!

Enjoy your lunch. I know how you feel! I am trying to adjust to life without Amber and planning a wedding for Jennifer and I am overwhelmed! I am headed to my sewing room right now.
Blessings,
Donna

GOOOOOOD! Listen to what your body is saying to you through those brain messages! SLOOOOOOOW DOOOOOOOOWN! As for the song, just be glad your brain didn't press the continuous replay button so you keep hearing what MY brain is playing - Pants on the Ground. If I EVER get that stupid thing out of my head, I'm putting a lock on my brain so it cannot get back in! LOL!

I am feeling a bit distracted and frustrated lately too. Nothing seems to be working in my house-decorating-wise. I get one area to work but then another area needs something I am not willing to do. It's a vicious cycle and it happens every spring. I think winter does it to me. That's my story, anyway.

When I have those flittering around feelings I set a timer for 10 minutes and do not deter from that job. Work in your sewing room. Sewing might just be what you need. I know that quilting is very relaxing for me so sewing might be for you.
