I may not say something you haven't already thought about, but then again I just might.

Wondered Out
Do you ever get to a point where you are just tired of trying to figure things out, people out, or life out? Times when trying to stay ahead only leaves you more behind and confused than when you started? Some people refer to this as "over thinking" but I'm not so sure that that phrase is the best for this situation. I mean if I were "over thinking" something I'd like to assume that I'd have more answers than what I needed rather than none at all. See what I'm saying? It seems to me that, for me, a phrase like "fruitless deliberation" is far more fitting. It's all the mental activity without any conceivable or sufficient resolution, and as with anything, one becomes discouraged at the lack of result over an extended period of time. I hope that I have made this as clear as I possibly can, but, to be honest, it is a rather difficult thing to describe while in the midst of it. It is times like these that I find great solace in my quiet place. I don't care for the term "retreat" because I don't want it to seem like I'm running from the issue at hand, but rather it is a time to rest and reorganize. When I take these things to God and let him deal with them; I find that the things that had just moments ago perplexed my mind to a very frusterating end suddenly lose their significance and many times their complexities. Wonder why I didn't just start out doing that instead of trying to muddle through it on my own...
