Just Thinking!

The past few days were so hot here that I had to stay away from the computer. When I can afford it I will have to get an air conditioner in here. I spent most of the time in my livingroom in the air conditioning.

Everytime I took Zeke outside, I would pull some weeds in my garden on the way back in. I couldn't do too much at one time because of the heat. I was amazed at the amount of weeds growing there. For some reason I didn't notice they had grown so thick choking all my plants.

I could compare those weeds to the thoughts in my mind. Those thoughts multiply and before I know it my mind is full of thoughts. Now of course, some of these thoughts are not so healthy. Many are about things I don't really need to worry about but still they show up. Before I know it these thoughts are choking my present moment. I end up with headaches from all this thinking sometimes. Looks like it is time to start my weeding of thoughts. A little bit at a time I just have to let them go. Give them away. It happens in steps for me. I can't just let it all go at once.
I keep the healthy thoughts, my creative thoughts. They are like my plants and flowers about to bloom.
I keep thinking that I will learn to stop this thinking from happening but the thoughts still come just like the weeds in my garden. But....the more I weed the less weeding I will have to do. Taking them up by the roots may keep them from coming back. Some roots are very deep and I have to keep digging and digging until I can finally pull them out. Many of my thoughts are just as stubborn. The key is to not give up. Keep working at it. The reward will be a beautiful garden in the end. Love and Light Emerald/Anne
