What leads you?

I woke up this morning really early.

Wait, let’s start again.

I was woken up this morning really early. Like 630 am early. For those of you that are like, so very smart, and read my last post where I said I was going to bed, you may have noticed it was at 1030pm and so you are thinking I had a nice 8 hours sleep and therefore I should be well rested. You are wrong. In fact, if you think that going to bed for 8 hours means I actually get even more than 7 hours sleep, you obviously don’t have children, so please keep that opinion to yourself because the mix of fatigue, caffeine and a little rage can be dangerous. Watch out.

Ok. Sorry about that. I am not actually mad at you, I just started typing and my fingers got out of control. They have issues. That was not my brain and heart speaking, it was only my fingers. Sometimes my fingers wake up and they almost hurt because I forgot to take care of them, put lotion on etc, then I fuel up on caffeine so they start to shake…and on top of that, I took my lovely diamond rings off last night, so my poor fingers feel like they have been robbed, and they are not feeling very pretty this morning. Like I said, my fingers have issues.

Alright, I walked away…put on my sparkling rings and rubbed in some Bath and Body Works Fresh Pineapple Antibacterial Moisturizing hand lotion…love that stuff… anyways, my fingers are a lot happier now so maybe they can let me write about what I want to write about, you know, if my fingers can like let go for a minute and do what they are meant to do, type what I tell them, not what they feel like….. here we go…

Well, way to go fingers, now that you have spent so much freaking time in charge here my heart has lost the fire for what it wanted to write about...{camping}..And now my brain is on a different thought path about control.

I was just typing about how my fingers are in control, etc, I don’t need to tell you, you read it, and then I stopped and thought to myself {bear with me here, it is still early for my brain} what other body parts can we let lead?

There are all sorts of talk about “follow your heart” etc but what about the other parts? What if we went on a mission and decided to let our body lead, or more specifically, one part of our body, at a time, to see where it led us.

If you were to focus on something specific, where would it lead you?

Ok. If you are a man, and reading this, I think we all know what part you are thinking of, and where it would lead you…. However let’s try and think outside the box…yes, I know how funny that last sentence can be.

If you were to let your legs lead, for example, where would they take you…keeping in mind that you have to ignore your lungs, and everything else…would they run? Hike? Swim? Or just lay down flat exhausted from being walked around everywhere? I think mine would probably go for a walk, treat themselves to a massage, then ask to be shaved before they got lotioned up and threw themselves into a nice pair of pants, or cute skirt…then realistically my legs would want to go out dancing, jumping on tables, and doing the shuffle. They are crazy like that.

What about your stomach? Where would that take you? Would it really want to be stuffed to the brim with food, or would that be more of your tongue leading and not really thinking of the consequences your poor stomach would have to endure. My stomach would not go for coffee, I can tell you that much for sure. When I drink coffee it is a selfish act on behalf of my brain, and my brain does not care much for my stomach. No, my stomach would probably eat a nice lunch, a salad, some bread, and some pasta, but not too much; just enough to be full, and then it would want to hang out. Literally. It would want to get whatever fabric that was covering it off and go lay in the sun…and no one would touch it… {See my post “can I touch your belly”}

Eyes: where would they take you? What would your eyes really want to see, and feel? People? Nature? TV? Sports? Mine would totally people watch, watch a sunset, watch my children explore, and then go for a facial…. With eye treatment of course. Oh ya, and they would watch reality TV.

Hmm... Weird stuff to think about.

Let your body lead you, I am curious to know where it takes you. Send me a message and let me know what happens…I am interested to know what parts rule you.

Now I have to go. My arms are leading, and they are aching to hug my little girl.
