Fun Fact Friday CARDBOARD ˈkärdbôrd/ noun pasteboard or stiff paper. I hate it. It is the absolute worst thing that exists. I touch it and all my insides squirm. It’s everywhere. I do everything in my power not to have to touch cardboard. If I pick up a box, I pick it up with my hands only touching the tape. If there is no tape on the box, you can forget it. I’m calling in reinforcements to carry it. So here’s the point of my fun fact: I am the worst at changing toilet paper rolls because once you get to the end…IT’S CARDBOARD. Once again, the WORST.

Let’s restart: At some point each day, usually mid-morning, my brain is in full swing. I’m learning how often my thoughts create mental outcomes which, 99% of the time, never become reality. I worry about the craziest things. I overthink and stress over conversations I’ve had throughout the day. I get knots in my stomach when I know I might have made someone mad. My thoughts have so much power in my life. Some would call this anxiety. Yikes. Bottom line, I’m always thinking. I’ve never been one to truly express what I’m feeling deep deep DEEP down.
