Putting Thoughts on Paper
Something to remember
A thought worth keeping
Is worth
Writing down
Putting it on paper
Keeps it for later use
And releases my mind
For other matters
Putting our thoughts in writing has several uses. First, if it is something we need to remember, like watering the flowers, call someone or make a dental appointment, then putting a note on paper and placing it where we can see it, reminds us of that fact. We don't need to keep on trying to remember it. The note will remind us.
Similarly, when a thought captures us with an attitude that we want to keep or a perceptual framework we think is valuable, it is nice to have it written somewhere we can see it. One such thought is on our refrigerator, "Believe and all things are possible" and another might be "Look for the beauty, it is there".
Troubled times can also be the times for writing things down. If we experienced a troubling incident or need to respond to a difficult issue, sometimes we may carry thoughts in our head that are possibly chaotic and obsessive. We work and re-work the thoughts but seem to reach no conclusion. Writing these thoughts on paper can help release us from obsessing about them. Once they are on paper they can be sifted and sorted for value and modified for a personal response.
Putting our thoughts on paper helps us adjust and enjoy.
