What would you wipe clean?

Posted at 9:03 am under Health & Body,Self Reflection

Stand Out

I draft blog posts in my head all the time.  Then I don’t post them.  And they are erased like a swipe across the white board.  Clean.  Gone.

Do you ever wish you could do that with your life? Wipe it clean and the thoughts you don’t want to torture you with are simply gone. The doubts you don’t want are replaced by the crisp, clean expanse of white possibility.

I’m tempted to edit and erase as I type, but I’m not going to so that I can appreciate the letters and words as they emerge for what they are.  Nothing more.  Nothing less.  Experience does tell me that the first draft is always the most powerful.  It might be the most raw, but is that a bad thing?

I know I’m rambling.  And I’m tempted to think real hard and tie it all together with something clever and thoughtful.  But, I’m going to pass on that too.  Because sometimes life rambles and thinking too hard only leads to headaches.

It’s too early in the morning for a headache.  Actually, no time of day is a good time for a headache.

I better go now.  My chiropractor told me that it’s super important to exercise right now as I go through some challenging times.  So off I go to stretch, run, and sweat.  I always feel better after a run.

    I just loved this post, it arrived straight to my heart (especially when you rambled about how you “are tempted to think really hard and tie it all together…” looking forward to more rambling Cassandra

    I draft blog posts in my head all the time too! Only I do tend to post them – I have a problem with self-filtering or censorship – whatever is in my head usually needs to get out PRONTO and talking through things helps me to clarify and understand what to do next. But because of that, of course there are PLENTY of things I would love to wipe clean. I am trying hard to think more before I open my mouth.
    Enjoying your blog, so thank you!
