Random Tidbit #1
I once read a book called Women are Like Spaghetti, and Men are like Waffles. Though the title may sound strange it actually makes sense. Women tend to process things like spaghetti, one thought leads to another. The previous thought connects with another one that has a familiar topic and then another. Hence the ability to multi-task. Men on the other hand process things like waffles. If you look at a waffle there are many different boxes, they have compartments where each thing is stored. They have to open the box, and then close it before moving onto another thought. Ever notice most men can't talk and do something else at the same time, unless they have trained to their brain to do otherwise. Women tend to problem solve by thinking aloud and talking through it. Most men who are given a problem tend to fix it. This is how most fights end up starting. She wants someone to listen to her, and she pulls him aside. He starts analyzing the problems, and comes up with a solution. She doesn't want a solution, but he gives her one anyway.
Random Tidbit #2
Sometimes we drift off into the Land of "If Only". If only I could have done this differently, if only I ___. Should have. Would have. Could have. This gets us thinking and just generally living in the past, which isn't great because your currently living in the present looking foward to the future. Next time something goes through your head...oh I wish I would have._____. Next time you want to do something, but chicken out. Do it. That way you won't regret it.

Begin Random Thoughts:
I have all my Christmas shopping done. Yet I have to still send out Christmas cards. I'm trying to get myself into the holiday spirit, maybe it's to early. I just feel lazy. When my alarm goes off in the morning. The response isn't "YAY. A new day" but "I have to get up and out of bed...grrrr". I know that if I don't get out of bed I'll fall back asleep until 11:00 or even noon. I have to think of something exciting to do everyday when I get out of bed. Something that will motivate me to get me going in the day, something to look foward to. What? I don't know. Maybe I should live my day backwards once. I spend most of my mornings doing nothing, but in the evenings I'm pretty productive. I'll try it once, I'll even do meals backwards! Dessert first..sounds like a good day already. Maybe that will get me into the Christmas spirit.



You are a very perspective person.Good job!

I, myself, don't like to spend time in the land of "if only." I call it the Coulda Shoulda Woulda sea, and that's an idea that floats around addiction recovery - or at least my program. About half the time I'm talking to the clients I have - addicts - they begin their sentences with If only, I could have, etc. I shake my head and said, "Coulda, shoulda, woulda. What are you gonna do now?" to accept life on life's terms.
When i find myself doing that, I say, come on, Sahara, coulda shoulda woulda. What do to now?
