Hints of spring...

There is something magically, amazingly, fantastically spiritual that happens to me when the weather is warm. Random days of sun and clear skies are like taking a shot of mega vitamins or something. Makes me thankful. Makes me smile. Makes me move off the comfort and warmth of the couch that I hunker down in for the winter and forces me to go and see what's going on in the world.

So I say thanks, Warm Day. I love your hints of spring that rained on us today.

Now ending the day on a balcony, in flip-flops and my hippy shirt, with a beer and good company. Ahh...life is good.

Analysis Paralysis

Where and when, exactly, does one learn to over analyze? I mean, I don't recall anyone particularly over thinking things as I grew up or constantly asking me, "Now have you thought about this or that", but here I sit, a 30-year old woman, who quite possibly could (and often does) spend hours thinking and re-thinking the most minute things to the point of paralysis. Now, does being an analytical thinker have its pluses? Absolutely. I am glad that I don't just walk through my world, blindly and compliantly nodding and accepting everything with no brain or input of my own. However, these fits of analytical thinking that occur are quite annoying and potentially sabotaging--to my confidence, my relationships, my sanity. Now that is not acceptable.

So I just want to know when Analysis Paralysis entered my psyche and when, I pray, it may leave. Maybe I need to meditate. Maybe I need to drink. Maybe I need to pray more. See, I'm doing it as I even think of ways to help me NOT do it. Grrrrr.....

Well, onward and upward, I resolve to write and just hope that all will love and accept me, over analyzing self and all.
