A Free-Range Mind

Posted on February 28, 2013 by russtowne

You’ve heard of free-range chickens or cattle. Well, the thought came to me when I was trying to focus on something detail-oriented and important today, that I have a free-range mind. It wanders all over the dang place!

Love,
Russ

      Good catch, Cathy! I too have been working on replacing the word “but” (which I learned is a nullifier of what came before it) with the word “and”. I appreciate that you took the extra time to make the change.

      I think you might be right, bulldog. Except perhaps regarding a a few subjects, and for those, the brains of most men (myself included) are probably more like pointer retriever dogs.
