Coming Attractions:  Inspired Thoughts and Musings

Picture
There are times when I feel absolutely uninspired.  Nothing comes to me to write about.  Those are the times I really struggle to crank out something thoughtful or amusing.  But usually something comes to me.  But today while I was sitting out on the deck on a hot sunny February morning, I was overcome by a  brainstorm of ideas.  So many, I had to make a list.  And now, this evening, I can't seem to land on just one.  So I thought it might be fun to do a coming attractions blog so that you, dear readers, might say, "Hey, weren't you gonna write a blog about...."

--About boredom and how it might just be your imagination calling you to come play.  (Inspired by a quote from Reclaiming Conversation: the Power of Talk in a Digital Age  by Sherry Terkel

--About what it means to spend time well.  How do we measure it? Can have quantity and quality?  Inspired by a TedTalk called Design for Time Well Spent given by Tristan Harris.  Harris asks, "Distracted? What if technology was designed to help us spend our time well?"

--What is that little voice inside your head really trying to do?  I've heard it called your conscience or your critic or a tape from your early life experiences.  What if it were simply trying to keep you safe?

--A method I have found that helps keep me focussed on my intentional goals.  (Not unlike writing these ideas down and sharing them with you).

--Letting go and moving on.  Saying no and then....

--What is really meant by "hard work"?   And why is it hard?

--Is there a difference between pretending and acting as if?  Here is a blog I was reading about the subject: Transformation: Acting as If vs Pretending to Be  Sydni Camillo.  This is something I was thinking about as make some paradigm shifts.

---Words.  Fascinating.  When it began and how it has been a "thing" for me all my life starting when I was learning to write my letters and numbers in grade school.

--Living a guarded life, establishing boundaries and not getting so wrapped up in doing it that you lose focus on why.

--And the one I often wonder about: the secret life of dogs and cats.  What are they thinking?

Now that's a list of things I want to talk about, blog about and explore.  Oh, and one more thing that this particular exercise reminds me of: lists.  I love to make lists and sometimes even keep them up to date.  Now there's a blog just bubbling up waiting to be written!

You have created so much energy with your lists that it has overwhelmed and exhausted me,

Loved your list....I think it is the spark in the spark plug of thought and planning and inspiration. Never needs revising, it just is there to be tossed out if I have moved on. I'm going for more lists whether viewing a sunset or a pile of dirty dishes. See you in church!
