Did you ever try and force too much water or stuff down a drain or garbage disposal?

Did you ever over load the washer with too many clothes? What usually happens? It gets bogged down or plugged up and the end

 result is that it stops functioning altogether.

Do you ever feel like that yourself? Like you try and do too many things at the same time only to become overwhelmed and frustrated?

Great intentions turn into lame excuses. I am as guilty as any but we need to forgive ourselves and begin to become truly aware

of our present. The present moment is truly the only time that we have.

You can only stuff so much fruit into a blender before it stops working altogether.

I supposedly learned that lesson just over three years ago when an artery blew up in my brain causing a massive stroke.

We (I) must be aware of what is truly important, confront our challenges one step at a time and slow down.

When the flood gates of ideas are flowing, give thanks and welcome them as blessings from your Creator.

If it is not time to act on them jot them down in a notebook somewhere for future consideration.

Now if only I will listen to the inner voice within. If only I will heed my own advice.

New ideas are exciting and challenging as long as we(I) remember the blender.
