Gathering thoughts. Sorting through them. Redirecting. Concentrating. I sure don't understand how the brain works. It has the ability to cause us to recall images, sounds, smells and sensations. It stores and processes so much. It also forgets. Gets sidetracked. My damn mind can be all over the place!
I can remember things that I would rather forget. Forget things I wanted to remember. A lot of the time it seems that I don't have any say in the matter either! So, I leave myself *notes*. My damn mind makes me leave notes about my notes!
I have whole conversations in my head, with myself. Then, I go to tell Mickey something about what I was thinking. I was the only participant in the conversation but, do you think I can remember what I said? Of course not! My damn mind takes a left turn down distraction lane and the whole conversation disappears!
Of course, that one is topped by the old stand-by of actually having a conversation with someone and my damn mind making me search for the word that is on the tip of my tongue. The elbow may very well be connected to the arm bone, but I am positive that the tongue is in no way connected to the brain! If it were, my damn mind would give me the dang word already!
