I was thinking until you told me to do it.

This is what I see Monday through Friday when I arrive at work. Well, not the whole year. Just since they locked the side door and you can’t get in with a code anymore. I used to park right by the door to the long hall. Then walk past the Kindergartens, the Jr. K and to the room I start the day in, the resource room. Now I park on the street where someone has decided to remind me to think. I definitely was before I saw the words. I was thinking of a million things as I drove to work. About my son and would he keep it together enough to pass his classes this year. Or would I get a call from the school interrupting my day with tales of bad behavior and general shenanigans. I should have made that his middle name, Shenanigans. I think about my boyfriend and how things have not been a walk into the sunset since I moved in. About how maybe I need to muster up some sort of seduction plan for later tonight. I think about how I’ve been looking for another job for 6 months now. I question why no one has plucked me up yet. I’m a great catch. Lots of varied skills, hard worker. How can they not want me? And I think about how this year has gone to hell for me at my current job and how much I just want out. But then I get out of the car and see the think. My mind goes blank. What should I be thinking about? I’m not sure and it confuses me. Should I be thinking about world problems? I worry about the girls stolen by Boko Haram. My heart hurts for any child involved in sex trafficking. I question our nation’s food supply. I hate that good food is expensive food and how we are so addicted to eating things that really are more preservatives than actual food. I feel like I should be doing something, but what? So what I did is take a picture of the THINK so I can pass it along to you. It too big to keep to myself. For better or worse, we are all thinking. Maybe I’ll take some white paint on my last day at the job I can no longer stand and write THEN ACT underneath it. Now that is something to think about.
