Ahhh, something we can all relate to…stress…. I like this little guy cause he captures one of “those moments” when it’s all too much.
Today I took a few hours off and picked up my daughter from school early (early for me- not her) and we went off to get a fruit smoothie at…hmmm that place on the other side of town that you really have to want to go to cause it’s on the other side of town. Oh ya, “Bella Latte’”. I love having a pocket full of ideas to turn to when some “Ahhhhh…” time is needed and that is one of them.
So, we went and got our three berry fruit smoothies (ahhhhh…) and headed home to gear up for a bike/walk with the dogs. The dogs suffer as well when I’m overly busy. And as usual they were loyally awaiting our return. We packed up bike and dogs and off we went to the walking/biking trail in Spartanburg that was created from an old train track. Forgive me but I forget the name of that too.
Temporary memory loss (brain farts is what I call them) is what happens when you’ve memorized more than what’s good for you and your brain decides to, uhm, take a break. We learned about it in Neuro. It has a name too. :-) I’m over simplifying but…. that’s because my brain is on temporary rest.
It’s rather humorous that I’m actually accepting it. There was a time it freaked me out! :-) But, live, learn and detach! Detachment is key here because I am getting perfectly fine grades, am learning much, functioning well and I know my memorizing skills and recall will return when I need them – like tomorrow or sooner if I choose it :-) .
The point here is that I chose not to become that little guy in the cartoon. I chose to take a break. And this turned out to be quite a glorious afternoon to take that break and play!
