Here and now, I’m ruminating about
- my health, after I had a TIA last week on vacation,
- my anticoagulant medication,
- travel insurance,
- my dental appointment today,
- those aspects of my job I really dislike doing,
- our upstairs bathroom, which has been out of commission for over a year because of water damage,
- the change of seasons from warmer to colder,
- the USA midterm November elections,
- the death of Queen Elizabeth,
- pain and suffering in the world, and
- things I cannot control.
I guess it makes sense that I’m ruminating over things I can’t control, because otherwise I could friggin’ do something about them!
When I am ruminating, it helps to identify a simple next step I can take (including sharing my thoughts so I’m not alone with them).
Do you see ruminating in my images for today?
I was also ruminating about getting good tickets on National New York day for a new NYC production of the Sondheim musical Merrily We Roll Along, but tickets actually don’t go on sale until October.

I look forward to ruminating on your comments about this Ruminating post.
Thanks to all who know something about ruminating, including YOU!
May your day in the now today lift you, Ann.
Thanks, my friend!
Hi Ann, I loved your blog today. And I’ve been thinking about you!!
Would love to hear your voice and all your thoughts………do you want to set up a zoom sometime soon?
Much love, Barbara
Love back at you, Barbara!
we should all be like the goat – just chew the cud. ruminate nonchalantly.
You’re the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time), beth!
Some of my quality problem solving is because I’m an excellent ruminator. LOL! I try to walk the line between ruminating and being obsessive in “unhelpful” thoughts. 😍
