What a day, each subject or activity I move into has been a myriad of very difficult tasks. E- mails arrive written in some foreign symbols, not compatible with either the old DELL or the newer Acer computer, not to speak of the chronologically somewhat older typist. It is obvious that I need to remove myself from the environs of my somewhat cluttered and distrac- tive office and pray that after a nap I will be able to tackle anything. See you all later. I have returned to the computer somewhat calmed down after eating a slice of apple pie for breakfast. Yes, I do know that is not the com- mon high protein food for starting the day’s work. It has however calmed my temperament. At any rate I have made the immediate choice not to flee my office assign- ment at this time. Congratulations to Pat Gleason on the authoring of "The Best of Simply Put." Thank you, reporter Julie Zeeb for the front page article and picture. All things simply put are easily digest- ed and are nourishing to our brains. Speaking of the brain, I recently took a memory assessment test. I was receiving instruction from a relaxing CD. The reader had a quiet voice, directing me to relax my jaw muscles, experience shoulders and neck, let the sense of relaxation spread to my arms, torso, continue to breathe slowly becom- ing more and more relaxed, depth breathing and open your eyes. I responded well until the opening of eyes occurred. Yes, the distracting condition of my office is still here. My mind want- ed to enter into deep relaxation but my brain continued to resist the instructions emanating from the CD. Oh well I am just thinking of too many things. The narrator reminded the listener that he or she had too long a "to-do" list. He sug- gested that the order of rank, first, second and third and then to think of putting off one of the items. What a challenge, maybe I could cut out a bit of my list. Three tasks seem to be okay to me, but how about the five more items on my list? Carolyn Barber Remember words by tying them to a visual activity. Hey, it is working; I may put this CD in on other days of disorientation. At the pre- sent time, I believe I will flee listening to this mind adjusting. What I need to do first is to create an image of each of the three tasks in my mind and then tackle number 1, 2 and 3 items only. Hey that sounds great. I will stop after the three tasks and allow myself to read a book of my choice. Simply Put…I will end this dia- tribe of woes and how to fix them. I will quit torturing today’s readers with run on and on and on words. A little respite in the mountains should work its magic relaxation on me in preparation for future columns. I will flee to the silence of the back room with my mind sooth- ing novel. Okay, I am getting the message about my cluttered mind and office. Also the pile of paper work to be done post haste. Oh yes and the dishes waiting in my kitchen sink. Oh well, the voice on the CD is reminding me to focus, look, snap and connect. Reminding me to remember the mental snapshots in my mind. "Look, Snap, Connect!" "Solitude and the companion nourishment of silence are vital." — Dr. Dallas Willard Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992.
