So this is my first blog and I really thought long and hard about what to write it on, in the end I decided that it being my first daily thought I should write it on the first thought I have. So when I woke up the other morning I thought to myself what is my first thought?
Now I realise that my first thought probably wasn't actually this, however in my haste I seemed to have forgotten what it actually was. So having resolved that today's thought was useless I decided to try again the next day.
However the next day I completely forgot about my thought and it was only as I lay in bed that night did I remember my task and subsequently curse myself for doing so. Now it was here that I thought that perhaps my first thought isn't worth writing about, however I then went on to think that is any thought worth writing about and suddenly I remembered Ralph Waldo Emerson's saying: "The ancestor of every action is a thought."
I have know of this for some time yet never really gave it much thought until I came to write this because I look around me and everything I now see is the result of a thought even - or rather especially- this blog would not be here with out someone, somewhere thinking "what if..." or "why..."
Now I don't mean to go all philosophical on you but I have to be honest it had a huge effect on me and for the first time I thought "where would I be without a thought?"
I still don't have an answer but you know what? I'm thinking about it!
