.. Starting With Mine

Y esterday, I told you about Havi’s Pirate Queen expeditions, and then I  announced that I wanted to go in search of a metaphor of my very own.

Something to help me better get a handle on this business stuff.  Something that  made it fun, not scary-and-over-whelming and HUGE.

And (as I’m sure you’ve already figured out) I found that  something: A Circus!   Not JUST a circus, mind you…  but a full-fledged old-fashioned three-ring circus and traveling carnie show, complete with believe-it-or-not sideshows, animal acts, a midway, tons of prizes, games and all the cotton candy you’ll never eat.

How did I find this glorious, stupendous circus of circuses, you ask?

Yes, yes… I know it’s St. Patty’s day, not April Fools day. And no, I didn’t get totally confused by the switch to Daylight Savings Time last weekend. It will all make more sense by the time I’m done explaining… at least, I think it will.

But meanwhile? I’m running off to join the circus.

This whole business is related to the renovations going on in the background of the site, and it fits with my “Places, Everything!” theme for the year, too. But mostly, it’s about the Metaphor Mouse stuff that Havi Brooks has been writing so much about over the past few weeks. You can ignore the mouse part for now, if you like, and just focus on understanding the metaphor business. After all, the mouse is… just a metaphor.

Maybe you view a yawn as rude, a sign of boredom, disinterest, or dull-witted sleepiness. Me, I’m developing an appreciation for the fine art of the yawn.

It all started yesterday, while reading about relaxation lists and such on (you guessed it) Havi’s site. (yes, I’m a shameless fan girl. shu’p already.)

That’s when I realized I don’t have much that I can seriously trust to relax me anymore.

I‘m not exactly sure how this happened. I mean, seriously.

I avoided the obligatory End-of-the-Year-Self-Assessment post, the Impossible Resolutions post, and even the Big-Plans-For-This-Next-Year post. And yet somehow? Here I am, writing about a THEME for the New Year.

I didn’t even know years could HAVE a theme. But it seems they do, that I have one, and that this year’s theme is “Places, Everyone!”

“Places, Everyone!?”
What the heck does that even mean?

Actually, it makes a good bit of sense if you’re inside of my head. But since you aren’t…

Forgive me Tweakers, for I have sinned…. it has been <mumble mumble  cough insert-insane-length-of-time-here> since I last posted.

But I’m not going to promise to do better  (even though that’s my intention).

Why Not?

Honestly, because I might NOT do better.
And I don’t want to make a promise I can’t keep.

Besides, I hate those sorts of “I’ll post more often!” promising blog things. Especially when they aren’t followed by more blog posts.

Truth is, I had a minor (major?) freakout starting this past summer.   And maybe I should keep all this info to myself (as the blogging experts suggest) but since this blog is all about the mind and brain,and fixing them (Especially mine) it all seems relevant somehow.

So What Happened?
