A mind is a terrible thing... to have













Yes, the appropriate quote states: "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." But I think there might be something even worse than wasting it. Do you have any idea how many thoughts go through the human mind every second of every day? Neither do I but I'm guessing it's more than I want to know.(smile)

Oh there was a time when my mind was strong and fearless... or so I thought. Looking over the past has made me realize that maybe my life and all those thoughts were fractured. All the ups and down, like a carnival ride, oops, wrong story. Let me tell you about the "Witch and the Frog."

As a child I loved Saturday morning cartoons, specifically, "Fractured Fairy Tales". Those marvelous stories that always ended quite opposite of the 'expected' ending. So in this make-believe village there are too many witches and not enough people to cast spells on. So one witch sees a frog and turns him into a handsome prince. The frog-prince is miserable but cannot find the witch to turn him back into a frog. Meanwhile a lovely princess comes along, falls in love and they marry. Along comes another witch, thinking he's a handsome prince and changes him into, (wait for it), a frog! Of course there is no special kiss to change him, so his wife becomes a frog too. Blah-blah-blah and the rest is on YouTube.

Anyway I said all of that to say something I no longer remember... which proves my post... a mind is a terrible thing... to have.

Oh ~ The End ~

    Hi Dixie:

    I came over to your blog to see what is on your mind. Sometimes I don't even know what is on my mind. I can change my mind so easily and so many time.

    You know the Time-of-Sharing blog that I wanted to delete? Well is back up again but with a slight face lift for the soul purpose of scenic photos and nothing more.

    I have a new blog also. It is http://TheCertaintyof.blogspot.com

    So 'a mind is a terrible thing.. to have', maybe but where would we be on Earth without it?

    There's nothing wrong with your mind Dixie; quite the opposite in fact!

    Hi Paul.
    I'm so glad to hear you've reopened the blog, and you've added a new one? Can't wait to visit.

    You have some really inspiring posts; the drawings are so vibrant and alive. Your gift of photography is really nice; I'd like to travel to some of those spots myself.

    Hope you & your family have a great week!

    Well, Mike,

    I'd be like the bees who travel through their day without a care. Or possibly an egret without regrets!! Or a squirrel traveling the world. Or a fish swimming in a dish who's only wish... is food & fresh water. (Help)

    A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Especially with one that's as imaginative and talented as your own, Dixie.

    Dear Dixie,
    I think you have a great mind, although I think I do get your point about it sometimes being a "terrible thing to have". As you know I've had my own experiences of having my brain go funny on me, so I can empathise. But consider this: if a person didn't have a mind in the first place, he/she wouldn't have a mind to lose. I hope that makes at least some sense to you, Dixie!
    Very Best Wishes, your way,
    David.

    Thanks David; all well and good that you can empathise! I did lose my mind many years ago, and I think I got the wrong one back... you know... abby, abby, abi-normal....??

    And yet you have proven, that your mind is a wonderful thing to share.
    Remember you are a princess and the magic of your mind can take you to really enchanting places.
    Anyway, I have no idea what I'm doing and I forgot what I was trying to say. 'Mind' how you go :)
    Have a lovely weekend, Dixie.
    Your starstruck fan, Gary!
