Focus Problems

Have you ever had a day when your mind just wonders, willy-nilly from one topic to the next without a pause?
Today is like that for me. I can not seem to stay on any one given task.

My thoughts seem to scatter, when I try to focus on anything. It goes from the death of my dad to when will I ever find the right person. Then, my mind wonders, 'Do I really want to find someone?'. Like a swift wind my mind is moving to my mom, wondering how she is doing. How is my daughter?

It feels like the stormy weather, blowing from one topic to anther.

I seen a turtle in the parking lot where I work, and my mind went spinning to the lake. Will the clouds blow over before I get off of work? Will I be able to swim today.

Should I move the house around and put my son in the room I am in tonght, if it is still cloudy. Would having a bigger bedroom and moving the work-out equipment into it, actually make me work out more?

My favorite book does not even seem to keep my mind from wondering when I am reading the story.

I don't understand why my mind is working so much faster than I can keep up with. Sitting here at my desk is extremely hard, this is one of the times when I was younger that I would go running. Now as an adult, I am commited to sit and work for hours a day and try and keep my mind in line.

I thought that, perhaps, if I wrote this it would help me to try and organize my unruly mind. Some how I am not so sure.

My focus seems to be coming back now.

So now I will go back to reviewing, writing, working and the other half a dozen things that I normally do at a single setting.
