Thinking...

I'm thinking.

Sooner or later a cognitive thought is bound to form. When it does, I'll post again. On the other hand, maybe it isn't a good idea to make promises I can't keep. I absolutely can not offer a written guarantee that any thought that spills from my brain cells will have a recognizable amout of cognition.

Still thinking.

Although I will tell you something my sister-in-law said last night. It struck me somewhere between funny and to true to be funny. I had prepared tall glasses of rootbeer and a plate of chips and dip for our menfolk to enjoy while watching a game last night. As I was arranging everything on the platter, she came in and said, "Whatcha doin?" I replied, "Making some dip for the guys," "Oh how nice." she retorted, "You made something for the dips watching football." Perfect! I mean why is it that when these two men hadn't seen each other for months, they didn't want to sit and visit? They wanted to shout and rail at the players and referee's and armchair coach some replay of a BYU game. I don't know... are they called referee's in football? Officials. I think maybe they're called officials. I'm guessing.

Still thinking.

This morning in the shower and as I was getting dressed and all that getting going in the morning stuff, I was writing letters/articles in my head. They will never see the light of day. I was just thinking.

Sometimes I'm aware of my thinking, sometimes it floats through and is gone. Either way it's a worthwhile exercise. Thinking is good. Lots of folks should do more of it.

Share when you feel like it, or when a great piece of thinking takes shape in written form. There are no rules in personal blogging about how often you post. I myself have posted very little on my own site lately, just comments on others. My thinking is still going strong just the same.

I hope the Dips enjoyed the rehashed game. Whatever floats their boat. And that's just it isn't it? As free thinking adults, we get to decide for ourselves!

Oh those Stott brothers. They'll never change will they, but then again I wouldn't want them too. And who am I kidding, I can totally relate, I am 50% Stott after all.

That made me laugh. And think. I have always been impressed by the way men who are complete strangers can connect through sports. It's somehow objective and easy for the ones who know what's going on. I don't get sports so I can only watch these things happen!

Glad to see you back! Missed you! But I do understand where you're coming from. Glad you're feeling better.

Men bond and communicate in different ways from women..I like our way better...LOL.. You don't have to post if you don't want to. I love reading all that you write and it doesn't have to be profound...maybe something interesting that happened that day. I too like to ponder...

My dear Caryn, Soooo happy to find a word from your heart to us on your blog. I know you've been around, for I have seen your 'footprints' in the comments spots of other bloggers, including myself. But, there's something quite lovely about coming to visit you at your place. And I think about you and yours often!

Too funny about the play on words about the 'dips and guys'!

I wish you joy and hope today!

A word to Linda R -- Funny thing, I'm always writing letters and posts and articles in my head as I'm driving in my car.... and like you, most never see the light of day, as I was 'just thinking'.

Thanks again for stopping by. My fortune cookie sure did speak to me. I have thought about beginnings. They are difficult, messy things but so essential.

You are a wonderful friend, a person who makes me very grateful for the blogosphere and all its gifts.

Caryn, I'm so glad you wrote this post. I've had that same feeling since the holidays ended, I thought it was just that I had so many other things to do and so much on my mind I couldn't get a real firm grip on blogging.

I was glad Jordyn's birthday came so I'd have something meaningful to post. Now that that's over, I too am...

still thinking.

Guys don't need to talk. They just need to "hang". Being together to watch the game. That's how you and I are sometimes. We don't have to say a lot but it's still nice to be together.
