• Simple

  I've been having a pretty hard time getting my life together. That becomes obvious when I can't even put any coherent thoughts together, not enough to write down. Everything is moving and making loud noises. I'm distracted.

  It's the time of year. There's a general frenzy/business that happens at the advent of a new year. It's a different sort of thing than a regular holiday. It's the feeling that something relatively large and new is approaching, combined with the realization that everyone is aware of it. New year's resolutions are everywhere. People everywhere are re-evaluating themselves, thinking about the past and the future. At the same time. The world (or the country at the very least) is in chaos. That's how I feel anyway. That's the way my brain feels. Over load. Too much to do, to think about. When that happens I shut down, run around in circles (sometimes literally). There seems to be no way to do what needs to be done, to think about what needs to be thought about. I make things complicated. Think things complicated. Except it really all just means I need to do one thing at a time.Think about one thing at a time. Did any of this make sense? I thought not. Somehow though, doing this helps; writing this makes me feel like there's one less thing to do, some more room in the brain. When I write I let go, put some weight down as it were. Now the other things have less to bump against, less things to rattle around. One thing at a time.

  Simple as pie.

  
  Cheers to a new year!
