Retrospect

Much to my dismay, the blog prompt for this week is Retrospect. 

But thanks to the wild weirdness that is Rob Brezsney 

- I came up with a plan. 

I read his weekly newsletter for the intriguing connections and 

twirly thought patterns, 

not because I give weight to his predictions. 

Honestly, I don't believe he does either. 

It is simply a great format....anyways, under Cancer (not my sign by the way)
he quotes another wildly weird guy, Johnathan Zap. 
 
"Conscious reflection on the past can deepen the soul and 

provide revelations of great value for the present and future.

On the other hand, 

returning to the past obsessively 
out of emotional addiction

can be a massive draining of vitality needed for 
full engagement with the present." 

Yes, very true - massive draining, losing focus with the present....all that stuff. 

Looking back and re-examining the past is good - sometimes, 

but lately I've found digging around in dusty nostalgia throws me off kilter.   

Obviously I like sharing bits and pieces of the past - great blog fodder - 

but this week...

not so much. Told too many stories of late. 

Reminiscing has roused the beast so to speak.

Xena?
yes, Xena Warrior Princess
questions on this will not be answered :)

But - I love this blog group - GBE2 you's the bestest, 

so here is a brief retrospective;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

I feel asleep at 10-ish today - at the computer - fingers on the keyboard - 

in the middle of writing an article for Angie's List - that was due at noon. 

 * In retrospect, 

I should have put down my book last night anytime before midnight.
