Thinking? Who? Me?
I have been talking to my friends here at home. It seems that they think a lot about stuff. I then that got me thinking that I don't think. Why don't I think about stuff like that?
Christi was saying that she got an email from Morgan, who is in Madrid. Morgan told her that she was right in thinking that you have to go away by yourself to realize that God is everything that you need. That all the stuff that you thought you needed you really didn't. That there is so much that we have that we take for granted and that you really come to appreciate these things. So she was telling me about all this and I thought to myself. "Wow! They are thinking a lot about things. I have gone away by myself for longer than both of them put together and I never thought like that!" Maybe I already knew those things so I didn't think about it. I don't know.
So that got me to think- Am I the only one who doesn't think?
So I asked my sister what she thinks about. She told me that she thinks about words. Like - Need sounds like deed and the spelling is similar. But Need sounds like Read but is spelled differently. Then Baked is spelled like Naked but does not sound alike. Then so many different examples.
Then I asked my friend Andy and he said that there was no set pattern for his thinking. He said that he thinks about really weird things. Like he was driving to see the sunset and he thought what if the sun and the world stood still for a while. Then we would continue to move toward the sun and we would be gaining time. So I thought - Wow!
Maybe I should do stuff to stimulate my mind or something.
