			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The end of a week. A<em><strong> long</strong></em> week.</p>
<p>A time where I found myself with a hundred things swirling around in my brain, all vying for the top spot, where I might, if they are lucky, focus on them for two minutes instead of twenty seconds.<br />
<a href="http://www.ciaomom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/brain-with-ideas.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-6669" title="overflowing brain | Ciao Mom" src="http://www.ciaomom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/brain-with-ideas.jpg" alt="reminders to gain focus | Ciao Mom" width="244" height="244" /></a></p>
<p>Good things, sad things, exciting things, scary things. So many things.</p>
<p>I can almost hear the wind in my brain, each thing flapping around, like leaves that swirl around during a fall day, or maybe a swinging door that flaps back and forth, back and forth.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://wisdom-justiceandlove.tumblr.com/post/12068121309"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 20px solid black;" title="Starting Over | Ciao Mom" src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltqu7tqyw91qik5v7o1_400.jpg" alt="finding a place to start | Ciao Mom" width="312" height="302" /></a></p>
<p>I know better than to try to make sense of these things in this moment.  I do.</p>
<p>Although let&#8217;s be honest&#8230;. I am impatient. I like action. I like planning. I like doing.  I want so desperately to put it all together, to make sense of it all.</p>
<p>So instead&#8230;I remember.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/86835099035058427/"><img class="aligncenter" title="Being Anywhere | Ciao Mom" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/250653535480674902_de896mRy_c.jpg" alt="finding a place to start | Ciao Mom" width="393" height="393" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A place to start.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">One is as good as any.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Just one.</p>
