A New Set of Winkers March 31, 2008

I think I know what my problem is (well….one of them anyway)….I am way too distractable.  Perhaps a new set of blinkers is in order……you know…..winkers?……blinders?  Like the horses wear.   Winkers are a piece of horses tack that restricts the horses vision to the rear and in some cases, to the side.  Some horse trainers believe that this keeps the horse focused on what is directly in front of him, encouraging him to pay attention to the race rather than other distractions.

Well I can tell you that I have definitely become distracted from my “race”.   I’ve spent the last two weeks looking backwards, or being drawn off course by turning to focus on what was going on to my left and right…never looking ahead, and certainly not moving forward. 

So it’s time to slap those suckers on and focus.  There is nothing “back there” that can help me now. 

It might be helpful, though, if someone could dangle a carrot….better yet, how about some carrot cake?…….
