Right now in the end of June, we are in the lower right part
of the year. A single year is an uneven
horseshoe. With January in the top right
position, June at the bottom of the column, July and August moving right to
left on the bottom row, and September above August – starting the climb
up. This could just be me. Forever, I’ve viewed time that way. My memory makes me believe that when I was
younger I saw a hanging, fabric calendar that had the year mapped out this
way. That can’t be right, of
course. It makes more sense that there
were two columns of 6 months each – with January in the upper left corner. Somehow though, my visual of the year has
changed it around. Clearly, I'm a visual thinking. Shockingly, I think this is a result of way, too much TV. My ability to visualized has expanded to all possiblities to the point where I've had to cut myself from certain genres of entertainment and even news. I picture myself or people I know in every situation. I can see every detail, hear every musical note played behind each dramatic scene. Literally, I can picture every situation happening. Mostly bad.
Although, there is the ongoing positive one of winning the lottery. I can't see my initial reaction. Kind of like falling in a dream without hitting the ground. But I can see the aftermath. The foundation I would start and gainfully employ all my friends. Invest in people and ideas I believe in. Give grants to schools that were doing good work. Sure, I've spent some time thinking and seeing this scenario play out - usually only when the jackpot gets big.
* Note: Week 3 delayed due to storm.
