Chasing vs. Leading

Hmm, I've been chasing my thoughts.  I wonder what would happen if I started leading my thoughts?

What if, when I had a thought about a story, I wrote it down?  When I have a thought to call someone, I write it down?  When a thought of an aunt comes to mind, I write it down.  Later in the day, when I make time, I can look at the thoughts that came to my mind earlier in the day.  I let those earlier thoughts be led to action of making the call or writing the letter.  Or I could toss the idea out and discard it.

Hmm, this is something for me to consider.

By the way, in about forty minutes it will be Christmas 2016.  Thanks for chasing after thoughts and ideas with me!

Merry Christmas, my friends!  May God bless you in so many unexpected ways!

It’s almost that time...to set goals and make plans or plan to just wing it again, ever chasing those wandering thoughts and hope-filled ideas.

It seems at the beginning of a new year, some of us, instead of setting goals, we make of list of things to quit...cigarettes, overeating, procrastination...

For me, year after year, it has been giving up procrastination, yet, guess what...I’ve procrastinated giving up procrastination.  But, that’s part of the sin, isn’t it?

I ordered a planner.  A nice planner.  One that, for me, was quite an investment.

I’m printing off my 2016 NaNoWriMo project.  The rough draft is not yet finished.  In fact, there is no clear ending yet.  But, I’m thinking my planner will aid in helping me to put a dent in that procrastination resolution and get my manuscript done by a certain date, which I have not yet set.
So, my friends, are you planning any big changes for 2017?

I’ve got to go chase after those meandering thoughts,
Cindy
