"We humans -- at least some of us -- are seriously flawed.
The things that are the most necessary,
the most critical to us,
are the things we take most for granted.
Air.
Water.
Love.
If you have someone to love, you are lucky.
If you have someone to love you back, you're blessed.
And if you waste the time you have to love them,
you're a fool."
~The Christmas List by Richard Paul Evans.

Four AM Problem Solving
If you're like me, you're awake in the wee hours with your brain using that time to do its thinking, figuring, problem solving. One of the things I've noticed is that I seem to have thoughts that are profound, that make sense, that would be a perfect line for a given situation, and when the light of day comes, my mind cannot think of any of those good thoughts! I tried to record them in a notebook, just like if I were recording dreams, I tried having my netbook next to the bed so I could pop on and jot notes even faster that way. But it hasn't worked out that way. (Usually because I get the netbook open, and I have the urge to check email, etc etc. hahah)
So what profound thoughts hit me early this morning? If I could remember them, I'd put them here! I'm trying to solve an issue in my mind. Part of it is related to time, which has become our most valuable commodity in modern times. There is never enough time to do all that we want, or need, to accomplish. The issue at hand is very complex, and muddling my way through it has caused many sleepless nights, and some heartache as well.
One of the things I've always told myself is this: when you're not sure what direction to take, don't take any. But. It's been ongoing and there doesn't seem to be an end to how it is now, so I guess its time for me to decide. And I hate deciding.
So what do you use for problem solving? Rock-Paper-Scissors? Trust your Gut? a List of Pros and Cons? Or following a pattern, as in "if history repeats itself...." *sigh*
So far, my problem isn't solved.
Tears wash the hurt away a little at a time.
Time creates a little space.
And every day gets a little closer.
