Think or not to Think...

Think or not to Think….

…That is the question!

I have noticed myself  “thinking“ during these hot summer days...

…About life and health,

                        About family, past present and future,

                                                About what lies ahead in this path of life I am on.

                                                           

                                                                         About what lies ahead, for this old world.

Then I noticed that my thinking has turned to pondering.

Ponder: Verb, to think about something carefully, esp. before making a decision or reaching a conclusion.

Hmmm, I ponder the definition of ponder.  I chuckle at myself for pondering the mere definitions of ponder.

Must be the heat getting to me. That’s what the old timer’s would say. It’s the heat.

As I sit and ponder, I notice my body stills, my breath slows, and my heart beats relaxed.

I actively ponder.  My mind is being exercised. Opinions form, ideas are created, memories come, goals made.

I conclude thinking that leads to actively pondering is good for the soul.  Good for the self.
