Hark all ye who read this blog with any regularity! The holy grail has been found! I bow to the north, to the south, to the east….blah blah blah.
It’s good to have my cord back.
Now one would think that now that I’m whole again with computer on my lap I would be lost in the world of Brigadoon or Etruria or Paris. Stories and poems and downloading new images for my gallery.
Ack.
I’m really crashing this Monday night. But fear not, creative friends…I shall be dreaming of new stories that may turn into magical stories. Or discovering artists of unbelievable breadth and insight .But not tonight.
So what have I learned from this foolish debacle of senility and long distance longing?
Ah, my friend…all it means that I need to pay attention. I need to make lists, I need to make bullet points and Post-it Notes and write notes on my arm and tie strings around my fingers and look behind every couch and chair.
In the long and short of things, I just need to slow down and pay attention.
Sound familiar to any of you?
You have hit the nail on the head with me!

Very familiar! Especially the slow down and the notes on the arm or on the back of the hand! Glad to hear you got it back. I did something similar once – leaving my computer power cord in a motel room. Yikes, replacement cords are expensive! Only did that once!!

Hahaha! But do you take it? I do…in small amounts. I do do things a little slower these days, but I’m afraid if I go too slow I’ll freeze mid step! I just have to pay attention more.

Ha! I’m so happy to hear I’m not the only one. I’ve slowed down too, but I have this feeling that slowing down for you and me is not much slower than before. We just think about it before we do it.

Very familiar Claudia, but I’ve already slowed down, walking at my own pace, but I’m still writing plenty of post-it notes to self, a fridge white board, a toilet door calendar, and a dining table notepad
