Laughing At Myself

Oh, the places the mind can take a person!

During our morning walks, my SO and I often try to solve the problems of this world, forgetting that in the next world, there will be no problems. Today's walk was no exception.

Our topics are usually of the "what-keeps-me-awake-at-night" type. Some days it is just one of us that is over-thinking something. Other walks, it is a shared responsibility - which was the case a few hours ago.

When we returned home, we were laughing at ourselves because during the course of our walk our conversation had taken us to the following conclusions:

  • The Red Cross was needed for a rescue.
  • The CDC should be called in for a consultation.
  • The Coast Guard would be needed to perform a water rescue.
  • The economic situation would worsen to the point that thousands of instances would necessitate three, four, and five families moving in together.
  • Reverse migration will take place to the neighboring countries of Canada and Mexico.
You've heard of 'Extreme Sports'? Well, we do extreme thinking.

Does it accomplish anything? No, although it can produce headaches of the first degree.

What it does allow is a good laugh at the end of the 'extreme-thinking' session.

May you not experience 'extreme thinking'.
