Scattered
This Blog has moved! Click here to see what's new in the life of the Pruett family.
The past few days I’ve felt incredibly scattered. I’m certainly being pulled in many, many directions with the new mortgage, a kid on the way, and potential career shifts in play. Yet in some ways I feel things are going as smoothly as could be expected - I just don’t feel I’m able to be as present for some things as I usually am.
I’ve really noticed that I struggle to listen attentively to conversations that in the past were very easy to stay focused upon. It isn’t that I lose interest, or that I’m plotting my response too quickly - it’s more that the words start getting scrambled before my mind grabs them and puts them into thoughts. I notice the words scrambling, and then force myself to concentrate… I never used to have to work to listen… But at least I notice, right? It could be worse… I could not know the difference — shudder — Wouldn’t that be scary?
Maybe if I get some sleep… and cross a few things off my TODO list tomorrow… hopefully then I’ll start to pick up the pieces and feel less scattered.
