Have you ever been somewhere…supposed to be doing something that is probably fairly important…yet your mind has wandered a million miles away? Well…I’m here to tell you that it happens all of the time…I can one hundred percent attest to that fact.
The funny thing is…is that it can and will happen when you least expect it. Let me give you a few examples of what can carry your mind……a million miles away.
Music….it’s fuel for the soul….and all it takes is one good song…to take you back in time to memories that can make your heart smile. A “Blast from the Past” song can take you back in time…to relive in your mind what you experienced at that moment in time. For me…I can hear a certain song and see my grandma…dancing around the living room…or when my high school girlfriends…would hang out together a the “sock-hop” dance that was always held after the football games……oh….those were the days….my friend.
That great song….for me….is a song that will remind me of so many loved ones that are no longer here on this earth…..that great song….. it will absolutely….let your mind wander…..a million miles away.
Dreams……I am a firm believer that a dream….is something that your heart longs for…no matter what the dream may even be. You may have that recurring dream of that perfect job….you know the one that you really want….but may just be a bit too afraid to go for…..just do it. We don’t just experience night dreams when we sleep….on no…..absolutely not! When you sometimes….let your mind run away….almost staring into space…..well that my friend is the moment that you are……a million miles away…..and there is nothing wrong with that.
Shhh…..what’s the hush all about anyway? We are all only human…..always on the go…..always worrying about one thing or another…..there is no wonder that our brain will…..”fall off the grid”…..and wander a million miles away. What you need to know…is that when you are having that “staring into space” moment…..just let it ride….you are recharging your body….mind, and soul…..even if for only a moment or two.
I used to think that….letting my mind wander…allowing other things and emotions….creep in…wasn’t doing me any good….but as the years have gone by…I have come to realize….that when I personally seem to be a million miles away….it allows my heart….to be where I want it to be at that very moment….if only with memories…..it really will ease any lonely or empty feeling that you may have……give it a try….and let your mind….heart and soul…wander a million miles away….it’s worth the trip.
I am a firm believer in fate…..that dreams….really do come true…..so focus on your future….we are never ever too old to reach for the stars…..to better our lives…to let our imagination run away with what we long for.
So….allow your brain to recharge…your heart to skip a beat…and never ever give up on your…..hopes and dreams….and everything in between…because…one day my friend……yours desires will no longer be a million miles away…..but at the tip of your fingers…..but until then…..enjoy the ride.
Hugs to you….from me.

For each of your sections, I thought of times I was a million miles away. It does sometimes bring you comfort that is for sure. I do like to live in the moment but having those sensory memories help me enjoy the present as well.
