I always thought the voices in my head were normal!!It's when things get quiet up there that I worry.I hate those days when your head is filled with " need to do this, need to do that". So stessful.Hope you get some quiet time today.

I constantly have thoughts like that running through my head. Maybe that's why I'm tired so much of the time. Sometimes Tim will ask me what I'm thinking about, and it's really hard to explain. My brain is jumping from one thought to another so quickly that it's difficult to pin it down to only one thing. I really do that when he's driving and I'm riding in the car! Just keep telling yourself, "My voices are my friends..." ;-)

Sybil is always somewhere in this head of mine! And she does have many faces and many voices! Some get a little too loud as was witnessed at my house! There's Sybil there's Flo what's a girl to do! Tell Sybil to shut her trap and quiet down!

Oh yeah! I have those days too. It usually happens when I have too much caffiene. Hope you settle down a little today.

"Chatter" going on in my head? Always, always, always, whether the matter is trivial or key. No matter how many times I tell it to shut up and let me think, that nagging feeling that I have to do something important, or worse, that I forgot to do something important, is always there. It starts with work - I feel consumed by it most of the time and I'm growing resentful of many of my coworkers because their pattern of habitual inefficiency imposes itself on my post-5pm life. There are too many people biting off more than they can chew here (yes, they're pressured, but so am I) and dropping in with crises to solve, and I often don't have a choice about either offering assistance or going home - after all, "it's my job". I mean, it's nice to be needed and to be considered a valuable resource, but it's feeling more and more like doormat treatment. For the last couple of months, I've been reassessing my position, my work, and whether I want to be doing this after I turn 5-0 (not so far off). By the middle of the first quarter of 2004, I will be making solid plans to scale back my expectations of career and seeking a job I can leave at 5 pm by the time January 2005 rolls around.

So, there's more than anyone wanted to know about me, also, Phyllis. You're not alone. Those voices, pressures, and worries are always going to be there, and the reality for most of us is that 24-hour meditation is not possible. You need to find those precious crystal-perfect moments for peaceful, prayerful thought; if God is truly understanding, He'll get why it's not always possible!

So I'm a day late with my deep thoughts....

Phyllis, I think that you're perfectly normal with the voices in your head.

God will allow time? God MAKES time. At least in my life. If I'm ignoring him or getting (way) off track, I get this definite THUMP on the head, or BOULDER in the path or some other attention getting thing. Yesterday He stopped me in my tracks of hyperventilating over all I have to do with a song. So maybe if I just turned to Him and didn't listen to the (satanic???) ramblings in my head, I'd be a heck of a lot better off!
