Like a drunken monkey on a rope...

A friend once told me her mind was like a drunken monkey on a rope, always in movement,jumping here and there, swaying and chattering.
I can relate to that.

As the water of a still pond on a windless night, reflecting the full moon... well, that is how I would like my mind to be and as much as I try, my mind still meanders. Sometimes I'm meandering to the past, sometimes to the future and sometimes just to ideas and visions from my inner self.

It's possible that a still mind is the ideal and something worth striving for, however, I do find that the musings of my meandering mind at times can lead me to some pretty interesting stuff, and that is what I want to share with you.

Like this...is it possible that all the original thoughts are already taken? I bring this up because over the past few weeks I've been contemplating my jump into blogdom and I came up with just the most original fantastic just perfect name for my blog- Musings of a meandering mind. It's perfect, it's just what I want to say, it has a nice rhythm, it reads well and it's...TAKEN! When I went to set up my blog, this title was not available.

Of course I meandered over to the blog that already has this name. It's worth a peak. Then I went back to the blog create site and tried again. It's a tiny change I know, not much really , but it still amazes me how truly original you have to be to be original!

OK folks, I'm about to click on publish post...for the very first time.
My intent is to post at least 3 times a week, and in doing so I hope to entertain, enlighten and amuse you. And hey, maybe all this writing will help me meander my way to that book contract I've been wanting. Talk soon, xoxoxo

ps if life is a test, why weren't we each born with a lifetime supply of #2 pencils?
