2011 Resolutions: Eat Less. Sleep More. Exercise More.

"Hey, Save That Thought 4Me!" is a prized collection of thoughts from every facet of life and love and anything in between. Some thoughts attempt to admonish while others are supportive and edifying. My only wish is that one or two of these thoughts will meet your immediate needs.

Research data suggests that every human brain processes about 60,000 thoughts each and every day. Fortunately, many of today's thoughts are from yesterday. If not, we would have had to act on all those thoughts every day.

If some of our thoughts were not from yesterday, what do you think would happen if I thought about calling you but didn't get a chance to do it today? Right! It may be weeks or even months before I think about calling you again. Whew! Thank God for giving us the same thoughts day after day.

Mind-boggling! Yes, but if we had 60,000 new thoughts each and every day we would have only twenty-four hours - or less - to use them. It would then be virtually impossible for any of us to make plans or set goals to achieve anything.

Remembering things like appointments, names, addresses and some of the other information we need would have been a significant challenge. This is only because we need to "think" about them before we could ever hope to remember them.

Every thought that we could ever think was
already thought and possibly written somewhere.

This may be interesting but an important question is, "How many of these 60,000 thoughts do we record somewhere or share with others?" Can you imagine how much richer our life experiences would be if we were able to exchange one thought with every person we meet?

A book is a collection of thoughts and ideas from one or
more minds compiled to inform or entertain other minds.

"A penny for your thoughts!" Do you remember that old adage? Well, even at that price, thoughts are worth a fortune. Sadly, most of them will remain in the vast recesses of the subconscious mind because they are never recorded anywhere. Eventually, they will be relegated to the secrecy of the tomb.

Many brilliant ideas are lost because we do not
write them down as soon as they come to mind.

"Hey, Save That Thought 4Me!" attempts to share some of my 60,000 thoughts with you. These are my "original" thoughts but I would caution you not to be too alarmed if you find some parallels between them and other thoughts that you've seen or heard elsewhere. This is partly because my thoughts, and yours, include snippets from our dreams, our wishes, our hopes, our life experiences and our conversations with others. These are included here for posterity.

All our brilliant ideas will be lost in the sands
of time if we do not share them with others.

Hopefully, "Hey, Save That Thought!" will encourage you to share some of your treasured thoughts with others. If not, all your brilliant thoughts and ideas will be covered by the sands of time. You may have been chosen by God to bring some great insights to the world. Let this be the catalyst that brings it to fruition.

Do you know any great men or women? No! Think again! What about you and me? Says who? Says God. Genesis 1:27 reads, "God created humankind in His image." If we were created in His image then we MUST be great.

This collection is dedicated to two great people: you and me.

I've come through time and space to take you by the hand and lead you on a mythical, mystical journey. I now invite you to leave your worldly baggage behind for a brief moment and peruse this collection with me.
