Drifting….

Seeing/feeling myself drift into space is fun, especially on those chaotic days at work. Daydreaming has been something I’ve encountered since I was a kid. Many people try not to acknowledge the fact that they daydreaming because it may force them to admit that they’re not laying attention to what’s in front of them. It makes sense though. When you daydream you almost leave yourself, mentally. You venture into a place you normally only visit in your sleep. The amount of time required to daydream is very little….in fact it takes little to no time at all to move from fully present to basically absent from your body. I often dream of what I would be like as a father or what my life will be like outside of the military. These thoughts sometimes bring an anxiousness because the “what ifs….” begin to sing out loud. After a while reality sets back in and the remembrance of all the gifts I was charged with possessing comes racing back to me. Daydreaming reminds me that the future is no where near within my control but what I do with said gifts in the present can certainly ease some of the anxiety as the moments pass.
