Too Many Thoughts

Your mind is made up. You will purge your sock drawer. You look sadly at a sock waiting by its lonesome for years. Finally coming to terms with reality, it will never find a mate. You regularly pull on a sock with a hole in the heel, taking forever to decide if you will wear it; OMG, what if my doctor asks me to remove my shoes. You curse as the heal of your crew sock makes its way deviously into the centre of your shoe for reasons that appear unknown to humankind.

Or what about your toolbox. You know your current tools are ready to ascend to the toolbox in the sky, but they have served you well for so long. You scream yet again as your randomly placed utility knife takes a bite out of your finger. Your neighbour is coming to help assemble your BBQ and you don’t want your toolbox to look cringey.

My blog is kinda like purging my sock drawer and toolbox. It is about purging my brain. My head becomes stuffed with too many thoughts. I return to a single thought over and over. I change it and refine it. I know it should be released but I don’t have the wherewithal. I want to consider new thoughts, but what will I do with the familiar ones that don’t want to leave the party. I have conversations with myself. At times I don’t even know I’m having them. The result? Existing thoughts give way to new thoughts that give way to even more thoughts. It gets pretty crowded upstairs. Unwieldy, not unlike my sock drawer and toolbox.  So, my plan is to use this blog to purge my brain. Release my thoughts.  Will others read my blog?  Who knows? Does it matter? Not really.  Purging my brain by sharing my thoughts will make me grin. It will make me smile and laugh and cry and pause. It will create space to accommodate new thoughts and get excited over those.  Purging my sock drawer and toolbox doesn’t even come close!
