Mind

I would like to propose a thought to all of you out there.
Who doesn’t know the expression, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste”?
Yes, I can hear you and no I didn’t think you were dumb or any such thing!
It was just a rhetorical question, OK? And yes that is a question mark at the end of my so-called rhetorical question and yes I do now understand why you thought what you thought and I am very sorry then and now are we OK again?

Ooops there I go throwing out those damn question marks out all over the place and yes I will for now on try to watch that! Unnecessary use of such things is notorious by me especially, but I am educable and will try to learn a different way to handle such questionable items in my writings, OK.
Since we can all agree with that above statement, second line down, we may also like to agree that our minds can play tricks on us, and yes when we are as sober as a judge…PS excuse all these clichés tonight but go with me here I am getting to my point therefore my topic for this evening…
Perceptions are all in our minds and yet we may all look at the same thing and see something totally dissimilar in it; wild, huh?
I think so and very interesting in my opinion.

You see these medical issue things that I have been dealing with daily and usually quite badly have been perceived differently by myself and Hubby.
I have some really bad days, but any of you know that who have been reading this with any regularity so bad that bed becomes my haven, but then sometimes I feel a wee bit better and wish or think that I can go and do what I used to do if only I had some help or modifications, and now does that sound so bad?

Hubby and I have been having loud disagreements of just these things.
With my periodic desire to try to accomplish my love of gardening while admittedly needing his help of course and that is what is at issue.
My timing seems to be off with requesting his assist plus he feels it’s easier if he just does it himself than be my literal, go-for.

See that is what I am getting at I want so much to try to do things but admittedly I know that I need help to do certain things that others can just do with little or no thought.
Anyone have any ideas for compromise on this topic?
I know there is a large MS posse out there.
And I bet many have their spouses as their care givers, what’s the solution?

Every-time we loudly discuss any of these similar subject matters I retort that I might as well not do anything!
Silly, I sound just like a spoiled teenager, don’t I?
But it is so frustrating not being allowed to do what little you would like to try to do.
Gardening is one of those art forms, in my mind with tangible evidence of what you accomplish, you know what I mean?
It’s so wonderful to see those veggies or flowers or whatever blossom and to know you played a small part in that process, true?
Here’s my point my first statement, yep, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste”, and I feel like mine sometimes is being wasted, well if not altogether done in perhaps not used to its fullest potential, how’s that?
Being creative has to be utilized in an actual situation to be rewarding, and that is where I rest my case.
It’s not good enough to just think something one must not only visualize what it is they want they must do it!
Another old cliché comes to mind, ha, and I did mean that pun, all talk and no action does not get you what you want in life.

To be honest I do know the first part is correct with that statement but I did take a bit of poetic license with that last part, please forgive.

On that somewhat thoughtful note with no actual conclusion to this issue I will wistfully wish you all a happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, OK?
