I was not aware of the debilitating effects of Chronic Depression (which was not identified until I was 45 years old), nor did I know of the hurdles imposed by my strong "right-brain" processing of all of the 'Stuff' of life.<br /><br />Now that I understand the workings of both of these dynamics on the daily functiioning of my mind, I am joyfully freed to comfortably delegate the processing of daily stimuli (news, politics, finances, relationships, religion, plus all of the peripheral goodies regarding the evolution of our universe, world, and nature.) All of which are a source of stimulating 'Input' for my insatiable curiosity.<br /><br />Now that I appreciate the natural workings of Dreams as a mechanism for sorting out and putting together the pieces of life's beautiful jig-saw puzzle, whilst we "sleep on it", I actually get excited each morning with the clarification of all of the 'Stuff' that I have gleaned from reading, encountering, experiencing and absorbing. Wonderful "light-bulb moments" are mine.<br /><br />Because You are the beautiful Person that You are, my darling <b><i>SulDog</i></b> Friend, I know that you will enjoy <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6cX61oNsRQ" rel="nofollow">This</a> musical 'prayer' that I frequently treat my Self to, at Day's beginning.<br /><br />Surely do love You, My Friend!John-Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301981965656607401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25195308.post-71813332405128600612011-07-05T14:59:04.545-04:002011-07-05T14:59:04.545-04:00Venturing out in the world takes all kinds of brav...Venturing out in the world takes all kinds of bravery, John-Michael but when you have Steve Martin in your head, even just a wee bit, I think it makes life easier.<br /><br />Throw in Gilda Radner and getting out of bed is a breeze!nitebyrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967190902623933068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25195308.post-43054116571396019082011-07-05T13:41:45.166-04:002011-07-05T13:41:45.166-04:00I, too, sometimes hate to leave that safe haven. I...I, too, sometimes hate to leave that safe haven. I've found it a help to say a prayer of some sort upon awakening, first thing. I wouldn't deign to suggest what you might say, but I find a simple "Thanks for letting me see this day, and may I remain aware of it's beauty and, if you will allow me the skills, make it more beautiful for others I encounter" to be just what I need to set my head on straight.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.com
