I
have recently been diagnosed
with A.A.A.D.D.-- Age Activated
Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it works: I decide
to wash my car; I start toward the
garage and notice the mail
on the table.
OK, I'm going to wash the car. But first
I'm
going to go through the mail. I lay the car keys down on the
desk,
discard the junk mail and I notice the trash can is full.
OK, I'll just put the bills on
my desk and take the trash can out,
but since I'm going to be near the
mailbox anyway, I'll pay
these few
bills first.
Now, where is my checkbook? Oops,
there's only one check left.
My extra checks are in my desk.
Oh, there's the coke I was drinking. I'm going to look for
those checks.
But first I need to put my coke further away from
the computer,
or maybe I'll pop it into the fridge
to keep it
cold for a while.
I head towards the kitchen and
my flowers catch
my eye, they need some water. I set the coke on the counter
and uh oh! There are my glasses. I was looking
for them all
morning! I'd better put them away first.
I fill a container
with water and
head for the flowerpots-Aaaaaagh! Someone left
the TV remote in the kitchen.
We will never think to look in
the kitchen tonight when we want
to watch television so I'd better
put it back in the family room where it belongs.
I splash
some water into the pots and
onto the floor, I throw the remote
onto a soft cushion on the sofa and I
head back down the hall
trying to figure out what it was I was going to do?
End of
the Day: The car isn't washed,
the bills are unpaid, the coke is
sitting on the kitchen counter, the flowers
are half watered, the
checkbook still only
has one check in it and I can't seem to
find
my car keys!
When I try to figure out how come
nothing got
done today, I'm baffled because................................
I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY LONG!!!
I realize this is a serious
condition
and I'll get help, BUT FIRST I think I'll check my
e-mail... Does this sound familiar? IF SO YOU HAVE
IT ALSO!
Please send this to everyone
you know because I DON'T REMEMBER WHO
I'VE SENT THIS TO!!! But don't send it back
to me or I might
send it to you again
Isaiah 54:4
Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed:
neither be thou
confounded;
for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt
