Thinking

I have recently been inspired by listening to Terri Savelle Foy. She is a motivational speaker with a biblical perspective. She talked about taking 20 minutes every day to think.
OK, I thought, I will do that. The first thing that came into my head was the scarecrow song from Wizard of Oz, which at this point seems permanently planted there....
Day 1 of thinking--- set the timer, sit down, think. Hearing the song in my head, trying not to be distracted by the usual thoughts of what I need to do, who needs me, etc.  Thinking... thinking... geez this seems to be taking a long time... did I actually press Start on the timer??? Checking that out I find that I have 3:30 left to go with the task of thinking.  Return to sofa... thinking in my case really seems to be more of an exercise in trying to NOT think... clear the mind so the universe (God?) can speak to me.  Oh, there's the bell. Thinking time over.
Day 2- well that was supposed to be day 2... no time to think. By the time the family was gone, I needed to get to work. I was up before them, but it was 24 hour crafting day at HSN...
Day 3- family finally gone, timer set... "With the thoughts you'd be thinkin' you could be another Lincoln..."  Anxiety setting in about the job opening at NCS..sure it's great money but could I do it and do I want to??  What do I love to do? How can I turn my love for teaching yoga and encouraging people to empower themselves into a money maker so that I can retire comfortably? Timer goes off, this time it didn't feel interminable, but maybe I did it wrong today...
