Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

Often it is not the thought that counts but the second thought that really counts.

I got a great idea! Wow! Here we go.

Two days later…well, that wasn’t such a great idea. It was a good idea, but after a good meal, a bit of exercise, some time doing something completely different, and some rest…I have a much better idea.

I guess there is something about the subconscious mind working all the time or maybe it is problem solving while sleeping or dreaming or maybe something to do with how the digestive system bone connects to the head bone. Perhaps some one will explain this some day, but that would ruin all the fun.

This seems to have happened to me a lot of times in life. I think it would have happened a lot more if I had allowed it to.

In writing,

In thinking, perhaps

it isn’t the thought but the second thought that counts.
