This morning I was walking toward the front door, getting ready to leave for the day. As I approached I suddenly decided that I would be better served for the day if I ate something. So, I stopped, turned and headed for the kitchen to toast bread.
About fifteen minutes later, I was again heading for the door but as I walked by the mirror I saw my reflection and it stopped me in my tracks. I decided that I would be better off if I shaved off a week’s growth of facial hair. So, I turned around, headed for the bathroom and cleaned myself up.
About ten minutes later, I was again heading for the door. I bent down to put on my shoes, but as I did the morning light caught my pants at a certain angle highlighting some wrinkles that I missed about an hour ago when I was ironing the trousers. I stopped and decided that I’d be better off if I spent a few more minutes getting the wrinkles out. I doffed the shoes and the pants and headed for the ironing board.
After all of that, I finally allowed myself to get out the door. I wonder though…was my subconscious intentionally holding me back for some reason? Do the depths of my mind know something that my conscious mind isn’t yet aware of?
Maybe it was a sign…
Ridiculous.

Whoa! Yeah that’s a little un-nerving.

Not sure if un-nerving is the right word for it. However, it definitely was…something. OK, so something isn’t right either (at all), but I suppose all I’m saying is that it was worth noting.
