Have you ever had one of those days when your mind is going a mile a minute and you cannot accomplish a single thing because of it?
Today is one of those days for me.
The list of things I could be doing or might be doing grows, and yet I fritter around like a hummingbird in a field of flowers, unable to rest, to calm, to think, to breathe or to write.
And, in the typical irony of fate, today seems to be the day that I should be producing a high-quality fabulous post to thrill the masses. Why? Well, yesterday I had one of those randomly successful days on the blog, with the most visits ever for me–and today, without me posting, the numbers are high. Don’t ask me? I’ll never understand it.
But, instead of creating something wonderful and spectacular I find myself babbling a mile a minute without a single clear thought in my head.
So, welcome to all my new readers. Please come back soon, when sanity prevails. For now, I think I need to take a few deep breaths and try to calm down.
If i could, I would go sit by the ocean to soak in some calm. But for now a picture will have to do.

Now don’t you go getting all *how many visits have I had* stressed! I’ll join you on the beach!

LOL
It’s really not that, Julia. I’m wired about something else that I can’t even write about yet (but hopefully will be able to soon). The “how many visits I’ve had” is just adding to the chaos of my mind. 
See you at the beach!

See? You know exactly when to hold ‘em and exactly when to fold ‘em. Fold, honey. Take a breath. Park it in the virtual sand. Chill. Have a wine. Or a whine. Sing a song of sixpence. Unwind. See you when your mind puts itself back together. Your circuits are not broken. They’re just on overload.

Overload indeed. When I can tell all, it will be better. But for now, I am imagining the coll Hawaiian breeze and the sound of the waves crashing. Ahhh!

“Have you ever had one of those days when your mind is going a mile a minute and you cannot accomplish a single thing because of it?”
Almost every other day I have one of those days. Usually I’m sitting at my computer on messing with my phone, or doing both. Usually it means I need to get off the grid!

I kind of tried that, but then I wander around aimlessly accomplishing even less than nothing. It doesn’t help that the only paid work I have to do at the moment involves grading papers, which is sometimes the most painful task on earth. At least I acknowledge that a the moment I am not focused enough to grade fairly.

Yes, these days it seems like every day is one of those days for me….

Time for some meditation. Breath in. Breath out. Breath in. Breath out.

Thanks for letting me know that such days are shared by others! By the way, I call that sort of rambling “circle thinking.” Somewhere there is a center, and most times the circle closes. The problem is when there are several concentric or intersecting circles . . . I recently starting writing a couple of things that are weekly. For me that helps. It’s like homework, I think. Generally unproductive, but at least it shows that I’ve been to class.

Me too, lady. I think we all just need a nap or a cocktail… or a cocktail and then a nap? Whatever, some version of napping and drinking should help!

It’s been one of those weeks for me, my mind is on overdrive. I’m with Tori, a nap and a cocktail sound good this weekend! Time to chill.
Jul 29, 2011 @ 17:03:24
Why didn’t I think of that? Bye! I’m off to the cocktail……lots of ice, coconut rum, big sllice of pineapple. i feel better just planning it!
Jul 29, 2011 @ 17:13:25
Just staring at that photo of the beach calms me to the core.
Aah . . . that’s better.
But I still want one of Bararann’s cocktails!

Babbling is always healthy….. Happy Babbling….. thanks for the beach shot….

Seems to be catching. managed to pop out my creation this morning, and that was it for today! But a little down time for an active brain is no bad thing!!

God, I know that feeling, Lisa! I’m always at my most anxious after I have done really well and imagine I can never live up to the new standard I’ve set for myself! Congratulations of things taking a turn for the better. You so deserve it!

It still remains to be seen if its a turn for the better, but it is a turn for the different. And I seem to have lost my words again. Sigh.
