Big word post

Do you ever wonder if life is just passing you by? I had way too many hours in the car today and precious few cell phone minutes to occupy the time. That henceforth led to much thinking and processing of things that probably don't need to be brought into my consciousness. I did manage to distract myself for an extended period of time with The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, as well as The Horse and His Boy. Both very good C.S. Lewis books on CD. I think my favorite part is that it's narrated by C.S. Lewis' step-son, who always gives some anecdote about the book before it begins. I've learned a few interesting things. I really think some of this over-thinking is due to the fact that too much has changed or is changing. Any time I try to sort out my emotions and reactions to it all, I get distracted by something (by force or by choice) before I reach a conclusion. Much to the chagrin of my closest companions, I am not much of a verbal processor. I'm also bad at giving myself time to process everything. Plus, the blood tests say I'm all out of whack inside anyways. I just need to learn what Paul says in Philippians about being content no matter what. As always, a little sleep never hurt anyone either. One more discovery of the day, it's amazing how therapeutic plastic bubble wrap can be in releasing stress.
