Work On The Mind

It has been harder than normal to get my mind to slow down recently.

So many areas of life seem to be bleeding into each other, seemingly because so much is on the to-do list right now.

Tonight, Jenny and I got time away to go and see Wicked at the Orpheum Theatre downtown.  It was quite an enjoyable show, but something I couldn't lose myself in.  I had a great time, thought the performance was awesome, but found myself thinking about color and set schemes (that I would see in the show) and how I could see them implemented in other ways at work. 

I really didn't want to think about those things.  I didn't want to notice that the green color of the witch is strikingly similar to the green of our logo for the new Young Adults ministry.  I even waited 1 and a half hours after noticing it to say anything (as I refused to interrupt Jenny during the show to say it), though wished I had the restraint not to talk about it at all.

I wanted to know how the soccer teams were doing at their games tonight, but didn't really need to read that during the show either.  Yet, I seemingly couldn't just leave my phone in my pocket during intermission.

I'm not that upset that I looked at my phone, the medium isn't the problem, I've just been so busy for the last 3 weeks or so, and will be through the end of October/beginning of November that it is hard to just let go and unwind.
