I think it's funny, sometimes, when I catch myself and call myself on my wacky thinking.

This morning while driving in to work today, my head was taking me on this imaginary "what if" trip. I won't bother with details, because it's all imagined stuff anyhow, but my mind was playing out these negative scenarios for myself and I caught myself starting to feel defensive and annoyed with this person I was thinking about who hadn't even done what I was thinking this person would *maybe* do.

Presence of mind kicked in at that moment and I said out loud, "Um, excuse me? How about you take all this imagination and use it to write a story or something?"

That shut my rambling mind up right away.

It's amazing that sometimes all that needs to be done, for me, when my mind is wandering down weird paths is to suddenly become present and tell my mind that I'm currently watching what it's doing.
