43 Geeeeeooo the Slooow

Card of the day:

Life has felt so complicated lately—well, for the last couple of years really. Yikes! That long! Looking at Geo and his soft, sweet smile, I realize that a lot of the seeming complications have been because I feel like time is rushingrushingrushing by and I'm not getting enough done!

When I think about that it is immediately clear that never in my life have I felt like I was getting enough done.

(thinks awhile...)

That brought me to a halt!

Okaaaaay...
Point 1. I have lots of ideas about wonderful things to do, probably too many for any one lifetime.

Point 2. I turn these knackerty knotions from "inspirations" into "oughts" - and then I feel even farther behind. For example, the eight unwritten books (and innumerable stories, essays, poetry chapbooks and other stuff) I have in my head—how many of them do I really want to write, and how many would I kinda like to write...someday...maybe, and how many are books others have told me they want me to write?

Point 3. I probably really need to think about all this and remove most of my knackerty knotions from the Ought To Do Mental File into mental files like: the Would Really Love To, the Might Want To Do Someday If There Is Time Allowed, and the Don't Really Want To, But It Was A Cool Idea Files.

(thinking, thinking, thinking...)

Well, gee, thanks a bunch, Geo! I'm feeling better already.
