I Have Decided

Jennifred Jones

“Making a decision brings order to the mind.”, said a little sticker on my coffee cup.

Isn’t that the truth?

Being one who likes to think everything over has too many times left me in the land of indecision, undecided, not-yet-committed, uncertainty, which turns into no decision, plateaus, going nowhere, stopping, standstills, no progress. Can you see the pattern?

All it takes to get the wheels turning again is to make a decision…any decision…it will bump you out of indecision, and you will notice a clarity come to your mind.

A peace will take over, you’ll feel in motion again and begin moving forward. So simple we miss it!

What decisions do I need to make today, that will better organize my mind?

Inspiration Lost!

Jennifred Jones

If only I’d written down the thought/idea when it came to me!! Now I can’t remember what it was !?!

How many, many times have I done this??? Today it happened at least twice!!

My brother is a cabinet maker and often gets ideas in the middle of the night, so he keeps a pen and pad of paper on his nightstand–to be prepared.

My notepad is in my purse, safely tucked away, where too many times it stays, because I ‘know I’ll remember’ that thought when I get back to my purse …wrong again!

Today ended up better. I lost two good thoughts that should have been notated, but I gained three, which I did notate.

Progress! Three out of five!

I grabbed my “Things I Need to Overthink” pad and put it on the counter with the pen. I am ready for the next good thought!

How do you like to remember your inspirations?

…on your phone, on a pad of paper, scrawled on a post-it-note?

Don’t lose your next good idea!

THOUGHTS

Jennifred Jones

This thought came to me on March 18, 2020….my father’s birthday.

He would have been 117, born in 1913. His father was born in 1863 during the Civil War. (Crazy to think my grandfather was born then. My parents married late and had us kids late. 95% of my relation marry late!)

We come from a long line of ‘thinkers’…always trying to simplify and solve things.

My daughter recently gave me a notepad with the phrase,

“What can I overthink today?”

So anyway the (my) thought was quite simple:

“Your best work is only a thought away. Think well today!”,

So with this thought in mind…what can we think about to improve…

…a relationship, a job, a task, a schedule, a project, a technique, a design?

What could we begin…

…a new adventure, a new hobby, a new product, a new connection, a new job, a new vocation, a new recipe, a new book?

Take your pick! It is only a thought away….your best work !!!

(keep thinking, keep improving, your work will only get better!)
