Squirrel

Squirrel....
My attention span varies these days. I find myself working on a project and I wonder into the next room to put something away from that project and then I squirrel. Another idea pops comes into focus that is much more important. I am not sure where I get this from and not really sure I exhibited this characteristic while I was employed. I will apologize now to my former employers and co-workers. I probably drove them crazy.

But it is really a negative? Maybe my husband can be the authority on this answer since he is the recipient of my squirreling moments. And as we all have heard or experienced it, married people tend to start behaving alike so maybe he just is squirreling as well and will have no comment on mine. Just beware of the moments if you happened to stray into my path.

The last time I squirreled was today. I was looking up something online. Now I can't even remember what I was originally was searching for but within 30 minutes I found myself drooling over homes for sale in Tuscany. Now how did I get there? Oh, I remember....Facebook > Tiny Homes post > Beach Homes on Zillow near me > then Italy web sites showing villas for sale. Naturally drawn click by click. Squirreling may just be another name for day dreaming. Thinking of things when stress in no longer a part of your life.

There are activities that reduce the amount of squirreling I engage in. Such as a good book. Since entering my sabbatical, I have picked up reading again. The books range from philosophical to romantic intrigue keeping my attention and allowing me to relax and let go. Also there have been a few television shows that Chris and I have been able to marathon through several episodes.

Okay, three hours later and many squirrel moments but I accomplished some cleaning, cooking, washing Bella for the 2nd time today (that is another story).

Do you have squirrel moments? Or do you have just a busy day that keeps you from squirreling or maybe even day dreaming. I just looked over my pc and noticed a beautiful heron in flight over the lake landing across the way. Standing there in the sun, calm, waiting.....oh, and there's a squirrel leaping off the tree.
