Boyhooooowdy!!
Do you ever feel like you’re in the middle of a windstorm getting tossed around carelessly, aimlessly and having no idea where you’re gonna land?
Yeah… that’s my brain sometimes. It grabs hold of an idea and runs off at about a thousand miles an hour before I can snatch it by the scruff. I got told today by that special butch in my life to “just identify it as something that bothers you and leave it at that.” (for those of you who may not know about butches…well, that’s a whole other post, but for the purpose of this post, I refer to said Handsome Butch as “Hy, Hym, Hys”)
Hmmmm… simple enough to do you’d think. I don’t know what it is about all those old messages in my head that seem to take off running and chanting around some idea (like marauding hyenas) that should be left well enough alone. Hy tells me that I think too much. Uh…yeah… Not sure how to turn that off, other than doing something really physical for like 3 hours until I drop. (pausing here to insert a thought that about physical activity that I won’t share here… laughing to self) I’m a thinker; always have been.
I can resolve a broken nail into the end of the world in 8 steps or less. Dangit, I broke a nail which means I’m going to have to get it fixed but I need to get a new hair dryer, and omigosh there’s only so much money in the bank and goodness knows that I could lose my job and not have insurance anymore and what if I get sick??? You see what I mean here… (that was 6 steps by the way – HA!)
Hys solution? Saying “Oh… you broke a nail, Darlin.” (insert me melting at hys irresistible southern drawl) How does hy do that??
Can somebody tell me where to purchase the button that I can have implanted just behind my ear to shut off those crazy hyenas that escort the end of the world scenarios?? Maybe there’s a video game component that I can just hook up to my brain to blast them…
Anyway…I’m going to implement this practice of simply “identifying” something that bothers me and leaving it at that. Wish me luck! I’m going out now to buy muzzles for the hyenas.
I did it!! I actually stopped the hyenas yesterday!! Had some random ridiculous and completely invalid idea that crossed my brain and they tried – oh did they try! But I told the idea to go to its corner and I distracted myself with research on saddles.
Big, proud smile. Thank You CowBoi~
[...] to do not deserving happiness and believing that it’s not going to last anyway. Damn those marauding hyenas!! I’m still learning to be with that and know that it passes and I don’t have to panic [...]
