Thoughts of a CRAZY Nona
When the grandbabies made their appearance into my life, the name "Nona" also appeared. It means grandmother to my grandchildren; it means madam or lady in Sinhalese. So, I am challenged to be a ladylike grandmother. I am also a multi-circuit thinker or processer. I need at least two or three circuits of thought running in my brain at all times. I love having two or three different conversations at once. I leave one conversation and move to another and back again without even offering any explanation to those around me. To my daughters and grandchildren this seems quite normal and they move seamlessly in mutliple conversations at once with me. We sometimes do have to explain to the third party involved "oh, that was the other conversation" during an exchange of thoughts. I use to try to reign my thoughts or brain process in but found it very stifling and unproductive for me personally. It can be very random to the listener standing by, as I might pick up the conversation(s) after a long gap without any explanation at all. I am also very good at stashing emotions in compartments until later. It is very difficult for a "strong woman" to be perceived as emotionally tender or even fragile and as a result we are often the target of unfiltered hurtful outbursts. Now, I have unwrapped for you several tidbits that make up my craziness in an attempt for you to be better able to navigate through my posts. I hope that it will also explain my crazy writing skills as I use lots of run-on sentences and poorly constructed sentences. I might add here that in secondary school I won a financial scholarship for an essay that I had written. It was because of the steady coaching of my English Literature teacher, Mrs. Gertrude Gundacker. Now, although I am attempting to help you understand my writing skills I find it oh so comforting to know a God who is not random in HIS thinking, in HIS ways or in HIS love for each of us as mere mortals. HE is intentional and the Bible states HE does not change. HE is the same yesterday, today and forever. There is great comfort in knowing that! Be blessed today as you navigate through your own thoughts and find peace in the thoughts God has for you. Thoughts to bless you and give you a future. If you were able to navigate this post then you will need no further explanation to my craziness.
