My best ideas usually pop and swirl in amongst the bath bubbles as I'm taking a bath... and by the time I get out and dried enough to jot them without wetting the paper.... poof.... they've disappeared down the drain along with the bubbles!<br /><br />I have been thinking about it... why do you think? I don't think it has anything to do with forgetfulness (at least not usually)... but I wonder if there's a 'break' somewhere between the right 'creative' side of the brain and the left 'write this down' side.<br /><br />Perhaps if we could somehow 'trick' our brain that we're still relaxing in right brain mode (like secretly have our pen and paper handy, or the wee recorder that's just within fingertip reach)... maybe we'd be able to catch more!<br /><br />You think?<br /><br />Enjoyed my visit thoroughly!<br /><br />You grey kitty looks a lot like my Mr. Sullivan used to.Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805562596725665277.post-680375070410738082011-08-22T08:57:53.025-04:002011-08-22T08:57:53.025-04:00Barbara- Sometimes the best ideas are fleeting and...Barbara- Sometimes the best ideas are fleeting and we have to be paying attention so as not to miss them.<br /><br />You're welcome!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349143005152545854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805562596725665277.post-50141914772334131172011-08-22T04:11:49.217-04:002011-08-22T04:11:49.217-04:00Hi Linda,

Let's hope all of the holes get sealed. :) <br /><br />Thank you for the mention.Barbara Swaffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02798532186727716600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805562596725665277.post-42447757518242540322011-08-21T11:23:09.212-04:002011-08-21T11:23:09.212-04:00Linda- Rosie is sitting in his Daddy's lap, bu...Linda- Rosie is sitting in his Daddy's lap, but yes, he's a big boy at 14.

But you know, I've found that even when I do take the time to write down my ideas, by the time I revisit them, they don't click like they first did.

It's a clear indication to STOP.<br /><br />This post also reminds me of the Farside cartoon where the little boy holds up his hand and says, "Teacher, may I be excused? My brain is full." I still giggle at that one.<br /><br />Take it easy. Enjoy yourself.
