“I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.” — John Burroughs
Because of What Happens when I Don’t
I had this great idea about what today’s blog would be about just as I was dozing off to sleep last night.
I love it when I wake up to the twitter of birds, even if I’ve forgotten the great idea I had the night before. — Pat Bean sketch. .
I slept easier knowing the subject of today’s blog had been found. I even awoke remembering that I had this great blog idea – then realized Mr. Sandman had stolen it during the night.
Maybe I’ll find it again, I thought, as I looked at the unused note pad and pen that is always on my night table – just in case a great thought runs through my mind while I’m in bed.
Of course there are mornings, when I have remembered to record my great idea on that same note pad — and I find what I’ve written laughable. In the light of the morning sun, I discover it isn’t a great idea at all.
Isn’t life fun? I just bet you have such moments, too. Come on. Admit it.
Bean’s Pat: Happy Birthday Miss Mitchell http://tinyurl.com/mvehh4v I’ve told my granddaughters they owe me a debt for fighting for equal pay, for equal work, for women – which today my granddaughters may, or may not, receive. Maria Mitchell deserves much credit, too.
Pat Bean's blog 
This happens to me so often – I even think of a great title! Oh well, another great idea always comes my way 🙂
That happens to me all the time. Now what was I saying…..
When it comes to role models, Pat, there are few who could rival Miss Mitchell. I hope you’ve checked out some of her other quote. They’re are quite inspiring. And – thanks for the Bean’s Pat!
I have. And I shared Miss Mitchell’s words with my story circle friends, and they loved her, too.
I also have to write things down, especially what I need to buy at the grocery store. But at night I keep a pad of paper on my nightstand to jot down ideas that come.
I admit it, happens to me and I journal and write down notes on scraps of paper and so on and yet still …! Pat your sketch is wonderful, also the sentiments!
This used to happen to me all of the time then I switched from a pad and paper or notes all over to a inexpensive voice recorder. I even have a app for one on my phone.
