The Shape of Your Thoughts

[caressa]

Saw this the other day when I posted and thought, "What shape are my thoughts in?" Wasn't too sure I liked the shape of some of them.

On inspection, I saw some inflated, some doubtful, and some a little tired but on the whole, quite looking forward to the new things being implimented in my life.

I believe, I am my thoughts, so it is important that I exercise them, develop them, and feed them the fuel they need daily to be healthy.

What I think, goes out and comes back to me. We may not thinking it is an action, but we are a part of the whole, and that energy, be it directed at someone or something, has much more power than we often realize.

So going to make a conscious effort to do some mental push ups and get my thoughts in a row, may change a few, and hopefully some will develop into something good.

Good is God. God is good. When I think good, good things happen.

Was thinking tonight, when I get bent out of shape, my mind often follows.

After work I decided I was too tired to cook and yet I sat and watch the game show Family Fued, one of my favorites. I left at 5 p.m. I decided what ever bus came along would be the one I would take and that would be where I went for dinner. A guy who lives on my floor was waiting at the stop too and asked me what bus I was waiting for, I said, "It doesn't matter, what ever comes along." I had the thought I would go to First Place, cheapest place to eat and on the way, had the thought, maybe you should get off and go to Forbidden City but ignored the thought. As I got off the bus, I thought, just my lucky, the special will be liver and onions. It was liver and onions. I left, my mind tells me if they are cooking liver, it permeates and seeps into everything and felt like I would smell it even if I wasn't eating it, so turned around and left.

I got to Denninger's and their cafeteria is closed, their TV dinners didn't tempt my appetite, so after buying a BIG brownie and two of their low sugar fruit preserves, I kept walking and ended up at Forbidden City. I was going to order a pot of green tea but it didn't happen, service was quite fast, and my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I brought half of it home. Walked across the street and got a bus right away. It took me uptown and I thought it stopped and King and James and he kept going, so he ended up letting me out at Main. It ended up it was my bus stop and my bus was there right behind him.

I was going to go to the library, just to get out but figured, it is here, why not take it. I have a book waiting to be picked up, but tomorrow is market day, so I can do both. They call for thunder storms, they have been calling for storms for the week and if they happened, not on my watch. I had my ear plugs in and never heard a thing.

So I am grateful for this day. The hours of work went fast. I got to eat my favorite food. The rice tonight seemed to be really good, and usually not one of my favorite things. I like Chinese food for the sauces, like sweet and sour, honey garlic, lemon and or plum. I have chien and vegetables, chicken fried rice and lemon chicken left to make a stir fry for tomorrow.

I watched So You Think You Can Dance Canada and now got some music playing, chilly out on the computer, and getting the mind set to call it a night.

When they talk about the dancing about being ground and down and in the moment, it isn't so easy for these bones but it makes for a good feeling and a feeling that I made the best of a situation.

If I get some sleep going to try to get to the noon meeting tomorrow. Don't often get there with doctor appointments and my sleep disorder. When I do get there, I know the time is right and that I had better listen up, because there is something there that I need to hear.
