I am scatterbrained by nature. I am frequently startled at what I have already done with out actually recalling completing the task. I call this auto-pilot. I find myself wondering into a room at a complete loss what I came into the room for. I lose my coffee (ah my blessed coffee, I love you so) on a DAILY basis. Has anyone invented a coffee cup locator yet? Seriously, someone get on that!

I should add, I am typing this from the library. As I’m meandering down the isles searching through the countless books about self-help, psychology, Idiot’s Guide Too’s… in search of something to enrich my mind or teach the kiddos. I realize, hey maybe I should finish my postapocalyptic audio book and my sci-fi hard cover before I start another project, and hey maybe if I do have extra time in between reading, listening, teaching and working, I should really write. Oh I should write about this now!

So that it an inkling of how my mind works. As I write, my 10 year old is coming up to me to tell me about books she has found. My stomach is growing because I am reeeally trying to make it to a 16 hour fast (keto, more on that later). My mind is thinking faster than I can write. So, I do not feel guilty that I am constantly finishing multiple tasks only part way before flitting to the next 10 tasks [cooking, household chores, calls for work, children, fish, chickens, a dog, a garden (more on that later too!) The list goes on and on]. No guilt. I try my best even though it must look like many of my efforts are half-assed.

Kudos to the scatter-brained. We are far from perfect – meh, perfection sounds terribly boring. We get stuff done… eventually. Cheers!
