Last night as I was getting ready to fall sleep around 1:30am I saw something fly at me. Serious, I was sitting up typing the previous blog, and just after hitting send I see something fly at me. I freak out as I see it doing circles around the room. I quickly get out of the room and shut the door….
The other day I was heading home and thinking about how much I spent on groceries, again. I don’t understand why I always buy so much. It isn’t so much that it is impractical, it’s that I anticipate when I shop for food. I anticipate being out of something and want to avoid it. This is the reason I always have an extra bag of tortilla chips, or three boxes of pasta noodles with two extra jars of sauce. It isn’t that I am running out, that I’ve used up the last and now need to replace it. I am anticipating running out of whatever it is that I bought and don’t need quickly.
From here my mind wandered a bit further. Does this reaction/instinct of mine only revolve around grocery store adventures, or is it something reflected over the greater span of my life. How do I live, do I wait and react, or do I plan/predict/anticipate? (more…)
