Remember you are the one driving that runaway team my girl.Is your musing a distraction ? Are you seeking to answer the riddles of life as you know it? I wore my muser out before realising it had become a habit.Now ,I put on soft rain falling on youtube and think of every good thing I know of or am fortunate to be or have experienced.After a time those well worn dendrite connections start to grow over and the worn path becomes less so as you simultaneously lay down a new one. GO Dilly !

Good advice Vickey - how did you know I was trying to untangle the mysteries of the universe 10 unrelated thoughts at a time haha - I shall work on retraining the mind, thank you x

Try holding your nose and blowing air out your ears. Failing that, turn on some Hauser

unique poem but I liked it....I find musing refocuses my mind directing it away from things that concern me--a skill I learned as a teacher. Have a great evening, Sara

Don't worry, be happy. Can't remember who sang that now. There really is no point worrying anymore, the damage has been done. How's Trumpy doing.

Which trumpy? That's either a reference to an alternate universe where me and Donald Trump reside (how strange haha!), one of my children, the dog or a nickname you've strangely adopted for me (the strangest!) Hang on, in polite conversation do people just say 'fine, thanks'? I'll do that... 'yeah all good, and yourself?'

Interesting. Replace worrying with musing. Sorry you have stuff going on like me. It makes life so hard

Thank you Andrea - it was strange, much better than focussing on worries but didn't so much feel restful x
