Bunny Watching

Finally decided to take down the Christmas decorations. While standing by the window, I looked outside and saw a wild rabbit watching me as I took off the decorations from the tree and pulled out the branches. I wonder what he was thinking?

Thinking about Thoughts

Do you ever wonder what other people are thinking when they are quiet? Do you ever wonder how someone elses brain works differently than your brain? When we have random thoughts, does everyone think in the first person? Do you debate with yourself as you try to make decisions? I do. I never use my name when thinking to myself. Is that the norm? Is there a norm? How would we know if there is a norm? When a person dies, the hearing is the last sense to go. Does that mean the brain that detects hearing is still working? If so, does the brain understand what it is hearing? The brain is really fascinating. I sit here, aware of my surroundings, at the same time, registering the music playing in the other room, while I debate what to type.

After spending a few days inside, I am craving sunlight and color. I understand the old winter tradition of wearing dark colors that absorb heat back in the day when people had to walk, ride or catch trolleys to get to their destination. But now that we have reliable cars, warm coats, well heated homes, work places, businesses, there is no reason to continue wearing dark clothes. If I could change one little thing about style, it would be people wearing bright, cheerful colors all year round.
