I Amaze Myself Sometimes!

[karrie]

My husband used to turn bolts while sleeping standing up on the rigs. I used to nurse my children while fast asleep. I can cook a meal while tutoring math/spelling, and not recall cooking the meal. I used to have moments (no, I'm not proud of them) where I would arrive home and realize I didn't recall the drive home. Hubby right now is playing a video game where he pointed out that his fingers are working faster than his conscious brain.

I amaze myself sometimes!!!

Do you amaze yourself?

Ya! But I amaze myself a lot more than I amaze others.:-( ;-)

I have a real knack for manifesting stuff in my life as long it is not for personal gain.

Like whipping up fantabulous meals to give away to sick friends? Doing a better job cleaning for that friend with two new babies, than you'd ever do at home? Only buying 'the good stuff' when you're going to someone's for dinner?

OOOhhh... I have another one... I amazed myself when my brain was so johnny on the spot as to say ... "Something's falling, catch it!!" before the OTHER part of my brain could say, "Uh... that was under the broiler, might be better to let it fall yeah?"

I amazed my wife once. I knew where I had left my socks. I didn't amaze myself, though. I simply tied them to my shoe laces!

I was amazed that I was able to read through your entire post.

Just kiddinnnnnnnnnngggggg!

In all seriousness, I find myself amazed at how long I will look for beach glass when I perform my search along the shoreline. I always seem to look for "just one more piece". Who would have thought it would be so much fun?

....I used to have moments (no, I'm not proud of them) where I would arrive home and realize I didn't recall the drive home....

This use to happen to me all the time. I would be in Regina, knowing I had to be in
Moose Jaw (40mi. away)...and sort'a fade out....and realize that I was actually in
Moose Jaw.

Time had passed, and no recall of the highway trip at all. JUst was in one city, and
then I was in another. Must have driven the speed limit, passing, etc...leaving one
city & entering another....with no recall what so ever. THat's not so bad though.

Worse is looking around and realizing that you're in your own driveway, but you
where going from point A to Point B for your employment...and just sort'a ended up
at home in the middle of the day, and didn't realize that was happening until it had
already happened. Weird times with long hours & lot'sa miles back then.

isn't that what we call 'road hypnosis', ?

No karrie, I've never amazed myself by doing seemingly impossible things, maybe because I've learned enough about human psychology and behaviour that very few things about them surprise me anymore. I think we are simultaneously the best and the worst of creatures on the planet, we routinely produce specimens like Hitler and Stalin and Pol Pot and Russell Williams, and also produce people like Carl Sagan and Beethoven and Stephen Fry and... well, the list of good and evil people is endless. But YOU I think are amazing. If I've picked up the clues correctly you're about half my age, and I find your wit and wisdom and compassion truly remarkable in one so young. I hope your husband properly appreciates, as I do with my wife, what a fabulous prize you are.

It would be embarrassing if the foot was faster than the mouth :lol:

I used to walk to work....my workplace was only a 20 minutes brisk walk from home...
One morning after a 12 hour night shift...I'm getting close to my driveway when I noticed that my truck isn't there.

You guessed it, I had forgot that it was one of the rare times that I had taken my truck to work. and I had walked right past the thing in the parking lot at the mill without noticing it......

lol... thanks Dex.

I have to say, I too know the reasons for all these occurences, I'm not sitting around going 'well goll-lly!'. I still find them interesting little quirks of functioning.

 

[Curiosity]

I agree with Dexter Karrie - you are truly living a life of open acceptance of what many people tend to shut down or censor before they allow the process to begin.....you show courage you are willing to acknowledge there are some things in our lives which we cannot explain nor why should we - they happen and when productive - all the better. Greet them, relish them, allow them the freedom they enjoy in your open mind!

I doubt I have ever experienced what you describe - the only thing which I can relate to is a precursor or warning of something ahead to be careful of - with no more knowledge than that. After a few days of living in
caution and awareness I let it go but thankfully I have avoided some mishaps because of the "gift" for it is truly a gift to me.

We humans are so busy trying to survive (perhaps going back to early man's fight for survival), we may miss all
manner of extras we benefit from without being aware of them.

And I have to close my commentary with a sad note: We humans are truly a wonderful creation of living beings ... but there is more work to be done.
We still kill each other.

That is just a hypothesis indeed

Wasn't there an article in the news recently about how people's sub-conscious was more powerful than the conscious because that memory wasn't impaired by normal daily stresses?

I'd believe it.
