Thought for the Day

"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

- Mark Twain

Get My Head Out of My Ass and Blog

The above is what I was very recently ordered so here is my thought for tonight...

"Never take life seriously. No one gets out alive anyway."

Wandering Minds

Hello My Sweets! I know I have been gone for a long time. I guess my mind has been wandering a little lately and as it turns out, according to a story in Aug 30th's LA Times by Melissa Healy, it may have been super good for me. Here is a little excerpt...

"Just as sleep appears to play an important role in learning, memory consolidation and maintaining the body's metabolic function, some scientists wonder whether unstructured mental time — time to zone out and daydream — might also play a key role in our mental well-being. If so, that's a cautionary tale for a society that prizes productivity and takes a dim view of mind-wandering.

Such social pressure, Schooler says, overlooks the lessons from
studies on the resting brain — that zoning out and daydreaming, indulged in at
appropriate times, might serve a larger purpose in keeping us healthy and
happy.

"People have this fear of being inadequately engaged, and as a consequence
they overlook how engaging their own minds can be," Schooler says. "Each one of
us can be pretty good company to ourselves if we allow our minds to go
there."

So, even though I may have been gone for a while, rest assured that I have been enjoying my own company! Now I hope to be back and to be able to enjoy the company of all of you as well!

Lots of Love,

Moving on up

In honor of all of the moving I have been doing lately I thought I would present you with some "moving" quotes for the day...
