Thoughts on Thoughts

So do you ever just want to just sit there and think? Sometimes I don’t want to move I am just in the mood to sit wherever I am and just sit there. It’s not that I even have anything major on my mind it is just the fact that I am in a preoccupied mood. Today I drove home and had the music up loud and the window down and I was singing at the top of my lungs and then I pulled in and turned off my car and just sat there for 20 minutes. I listened to the wind chimes clinging and noticed a broken branch on a tree that’s right by our house, that’s probably been there for a while. I thought about when it gets warmer and how I’d like to just lay out a blanket and read a good book. I envied others decorations outside. I just let my mind wander. I let myself look around and think anything I wanted to without disturbing my thoughts. Often times when I sit down and start relaxing and pondering about things I get interrupted by thoughts like “you are wasting your time” & “get off your lazy butt and do something productive.” But really I think that is productive and I think you need that time to just wind down. I think it is in those moments of deep thought that you find out more about yourself. If you never just stopped to think, you would never know what you would think about if you just stopped to think. ☺ Did you ever think of that? I’m not really going anywhere with this but I think that is the point. I think you should just let yourself not have to go anywhere with your thoughts from time to time. I remember one time when I was just sitting there deep in thought and Matt turns to me and he goes “what are you thinking about?” I turned to him and said “Turkey, not the food but the country.” I don’t know how my thoughts eventually led me to be thinking of Turkey but I was and I was enjoying it. I enjoy being entranced in thought. I love being in a peaceful place and just looking out at the scenery or in the bath tub and just laying there for an hour or two (no I’m not exaggerating, my baths are usually at least an hour). ☺ Anyways just thought I’d let my thoughts wander on paper for a bit! Who knows where they will take me next!
