Do you ever lie there in bed thinking? It happens a lot you know. Many people spend a lot of time thinking. Such a pity their thinking is not about improving the world and making it a better place.
When I was young I used to lie in bed and look up at the stars and think, "One of these days I'll have to fix that hole in the roof!"
These days of technology and gadgets it is all Apps, Apps and Apps everywhere. Perhaps if we told people that their brain is an App they'll use it more.
I think my bed is a magical place. I lie there and remember everything I forgot to do.
I was thinking the other day in bed, if we shouldn't eat at night because it causes indigestion then why is there a light in the fridge?
Is snacking and eating this and that throughout the day a sign you're unhappy or depressed? What is happiness anyway? For me, happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family living in another town or city.
Seriously though, I love my family. If it was not for them I'd be arguing with perfect strangers.
I love arguing and putting other people straight by correcting them. Sometimes I wish I was an octopus so I could slap eight people at once.
I've just realised that I have not been to the gym today. That makes it five years in a row. I've decided to change calling the bathroom the John. I know call it the Jim and feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
Lying in bed helps me think of things I have to do. I never rush into doing things. Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet.
I've been advised to join help groups. I don't agree. I don't need anger management training. I need people to stop irritating me. My people skills are just fine. It's my tolerance of idiots that needs working on.
Like the nurse who told me I should exercise. If God wanted me to touch my toes He would have put them on my knees.
From knees my thoughts drifted to toes again. Why do ballet dancers walk on tip-toes? Why not just hire taller dancers? When did this habit start and for what reason?
Do you remember the song Tiptoe Through the Tulips by Two Lips from Amsterdam? Or was it Tiny Tim? I'll look it up on YouTube when I get up from this bed. I can't be bothered to reach out for my laptop on the bed-side table nearby.
And before you say it, yes, of course I lie in bed talking to myself; I often need expert advice.
And finally, take my advice, an apple a day keeps anyone away if you throw it hard enough!
Thank you for your humor. We don’t use our brains. I’m realizing I don’t have the energy to argue with perfect strangers. Have a lovely day

Thank you for liking my humour, Regine. God bless always.
Delete...at times I have a hard time slowing my mind down!
ReplyDeleteMy mind runs so fast I have difficulty catching up with it.
DeleteGod bless, Tom.
I'm still laughing at these quips, Victor. Thanks for the cheer and humor today! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteSometimes Martha, I have to make myself laugh. Life can be so difficult, especially when it's cold and grey like today. It has not stopped raining since it started raining I don't know when. We'll develop webbed-feet in the UK.
DeleteGod bless.
Querido amigo, me robaste una sonrisa con tu post.
ReplyDeleteNo soy adicta a la comida, como poco y de noche como una fruta o un yogurt.
Me quede pensando en la manzana, yo antes de tirarla me la como, es una pena desperdiciarla.
Gracias por tu lindo humor, contagia.
Te dejo todo mi cariƱo y un beso

TRANSLATION: Dear friend, you stole a smile from me with your post.
DeleteI am not addicted to food, I eat very little and at night I eat a fruit or a yogurt.
I was thinking about the apple, I eat it before throwing it away, it is a shame to waste it.
Thank you for your nice humor, it is contagious.
I send you all my love and a kiss.
I'm so glad I made you smile Poemas del Alma. Smiling is good for our health. God bless you.
"Perhaps if we told people that their brain is an App they'll use it more." Brilliant, my friend!
ReplyDeletePS - Yes, I love to daydream while laying in bed. Beats reality!
These days reality is so dark that we need to daydream and pray and pray and pray. I'm sure the other day God said, "Oh ... not you again!" But I'll keep praying, Mevely.
DeleteGod bless you, my friend.
I actually spent way too long last night trying to fall asleep. During my tossing and turning my brain was very active.
ReplyDeleteI understand, Kathy. You were not tired enough to go to sleep. God bless.
DeleteLove the line "if we told people that their brain is an App they'll use it more". You might be on to something, Victor. :)
ReplyDeletePeople these days do not seem to think.
DeleteGod bless you, Bill.
Yeah, I think too much laying around. However I did read most of your book while laying in the bed. I enjoyed it very much and still think you missed your calling of being a priest or maybe a BAptist Preacher. LOL Take care. OUCH on that head on you had years ago. NEVER had one that bad. But yes God was with you for sure.....
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words and support, Jack. I'm so glad you're enjoying my book. Yes, that head on crash was really frightening at the time. God saved me.
DeleteGod bless you and your family always.
I do believe it was Tiny Tim. My husband belongs in the procrastination category! You know my mind is always going and it really starts up at night and interferes with my prayer life. I keep my phone with me the first ten minutes and what I think about I make notes. Then when my worries are in the phone - I can relax and pray!
ReplyDeleteProcrastination is a good thing, Chatty Crone. It gives us something to look forward to.
DeleteI think it is when we go to bed that our brain, like a computer, goes through all its programs before it shuts down and we go to sleep. That's why we get so many thoughts at night. Praying is a good solution.
God bless, my friend.
Yes, I too went to the Jim this morning! š
ReplyDeleteI do too every morning, CM. God bless you.
DeleteTo coin an old phrase, I think you 'hit the nail on the head' in your reply to Bill "People these days do not seem to think."
ReplyDeleteIn fact I sometimes wonder are we even encouraged to think?
We need quiet times to do this, away from technology and I do try to ensure I don't spend too much time using it.
All the best Jan
