Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

I'm not in a finishing mood
I just want to start something

These are the first 2 lines to an obscure song by Charlie Peacock called "Finishing Mood".  Ironically I almost did not blog about this since I started to look for the CD on which this song is included.  I looked through all 200 or so of my CDs and did not find it.  I about gave up but then there it was.  Anyway, I have not been in a finishing mood this past week.  Even today I was ready to ditch the Sunday morning service after only having gone to Sunday school.  But I pressed on.  Yesterday when I was recording / putting together the video that I posted on YouTube, I felt like quitting half way through.  But I pressed on.

All my new ideas are so grand and complicated
Maybe they have no endings, only beginnings

This is another problem I have.  My thoughts and plans are pretty big.  I don't think I can pull them off or maybe I don't think I will have the tenacity to see them through until the end.  I would like to change my eating habits, my spending habits, my time management, etc.  But it seems like such a big task that I give up before I start.  I want to see about having Lasik surgery but don't want to take the time to go to the mandatory 3 hour pre-surgery appointment.  Also, I know that there is a healing process that could take months.  Seems like a lot of work to me.  Also, at work I am out of small projects and only have the daunting huge projects left on my to do list.

Tonight I am going to an introductory meeting at church for potential deacons.  Someone (I do not know who) has nominated me to be a deacon at our church.  This is just the first step in the process.  I do not have a great desire to be a deacon per se and I am not looking forward to the process either.  But I will press on.

I came across this site yesterday and laughed until I cried.  I am not a person giving to extreme emotion (laughing or crying) but when I do laugh I really enjoy it.  These photos are spot on sometimes.  There are about 80 pages of them so save some for a rainy day.  Wish me luck in becoming (or not becoming) a deacon.

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
