That Space Between Your Ears

I don't know that I realized until this year just how important it is to have the space and time to yourself just to think. To be left alone with nothing but your thoughts, your noise, your static- it's become very premium to me. I'd always heard how important it was, but never felt it until this year. Maybe, because, in the past I had all the time in the world. At least, that's how it seemed. But the demands of 2010 seem to have piled up faster than I can account for and even though I have no idea how I'll do it, I know that I will do it. That, I tell myself, is what the stimulants are for. That... and the wordy juice.
