First day of spring and besides my Bible study and the people behind me who sound like they are on a blind date "so, do I look like my picture?" says the middle aged woman speaking to the distinguished middle-aged man the only thought going through my heaad is that I need some serious downtime for some super-serious self-reflection and wonder if there are any nunneries in OR. Anything less than that and left to my own devices and I would probably get myself into some serious trouble.

ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean? Why so you say you would get yourself into serious trouble if you are not secluded for your reflection?
Because I have a serious lack of self-control sometimes and some really bad self-destructive tendencies that I give into when stressed to the max. Or when I set my mind on something and do everything in my power to get that thing.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'll give myself some credit, I have some self-control. If I didn't then I'd be in the same straits that were an additional impetus for me to move to Oregon. I had to physically remove myself from the environment I was in before I did myself any more harm. And even my first few months up here I tried some of my old ... habits (much better word than tricks). There's so much LESS to do here than in Southern California. And that has been a good thing for the most part. Getting into trouble (being self-destructive in my case) becomes a hassle when you have to work to look for it =)
and oh yeah, the major reason .. I am EASILY DISTRACTED. If there is nothing to distract me, then I can focus on the task at hand.
