Thinking... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Draco, You have described me to a "T"! I can survive doing menial tasks like housework only by having my head in the clouds while I am doing them. I think you just gave me an answer to something I've been searching for for the past 11 years: Why it is SOOO hard for me to have to have given up my very conceptual career in Training and Organizational Development due to disability and either not work (and only have housework to do, or some light volunteer work) or work in an administrative capacity. Also, why I continue to be drawn back to my old line of work, always wanting to take on Training Projects and even buying software and learning to design online training with it: It is because I am SO intuitive. I can't stand routine. I put off routine tasks and hate number-related tasks. My husband laughs at me trying to cook, and I get very overwhelmed trying to follow recipe instructions. I bought a sewing machine and have a really hard time following patterns. I try to "picture" how a step looks, which doesn't always match the flat picture or instructions. See, nothing concrete comes easy to me. But I guess that's how we learn, by stretching ourselves to work outside of our comfort zone and style. Sorry for rambling. Oh, and I had read before where Chris said the fire department had to be called to his house. I hope he has a chef now, but that seems to elaborate for Chris. Maybe Gwyneth sends left-overs, if he'd even still eat that way.

I may have broken your tie!! Thanks for the cool voting system, I Ran Away!! Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

I'm excited too! It almost sounded like the second one had a bagpipe or two mixed in...very unique. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Leaning towards observant, as he seems to enjoy detail-oriented hobbies. But, his love of cars seems to take him in spontaneous directions. Really unsure on this one. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Weird answer imo: sounds like a very creative connection, I'd love to know too. Sorry for being MIA all. Very busy with work lately! Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Copy that! Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Oldiefan I'm pretty sure I am one of the oldest dinosaurs to roam planet Coldplaying....and I agree with Nie that we are as young as we feel! I think that is beauty of Coldplay...they appeal to all ages. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Uh, yeah me too. We still need to get to Guy, right> Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

The phrase "covered all the possibilities" was used twice. I also noted the "don't mean any offence", so could it reference a fence? Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Wait a minute - could the "daughter" be a spinoff festival of Glastonbury? Maybe we have taken the concept of Father/daughter way too literally? Have Coldplay performed a song written before they first performed at Glastonbury and maybe also performed it at a spinoff festival? Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

It has to be the Eavis's. Now the question could be, what song have Michael and Coldplay covered twice? Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Your post is ANYTHING but dumb!! What a beautiful way to look at life. I am inspired just by reading this. I also happen to believe that there is nothing random about each of us being born when and where we are. Whatever your beliefs about God or a creator, in general, I think the universe operates by design. As my mom often says, "Everything happens for a reason." In my hardest times, that thought always gets me through. I look at it that I i just have to find that reason, and accept that most of the time that will happen in hindsight, sometimes years after the experience. More later, all. I am enjoying the Grammy's and want to just relax. But I am bummed that Coldplay has again been snubbed. I just don't get that. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Your own responses to our posts, @I ran away, gave me another idea: Have you tried keeping a Gratitude Journal? Every day, you write down say 3, or even 5 things that you are grateful for that day? There is ample research suggesting that doing this contributes to one's happiness. You have so kindly and fully responded to us, that you definitely have a keen eye for seeing the positive things in life. Do you have a Kindle eReader? If so, I am going to send you the book I mentioned. Otherwise, I'll scan the INFP for you and all of us other INFP's. Going over it again is really interesting. For those in Health Care, for example, one of the suggested research-like positions is Geneticist. That sounded close to what you trained for, no? I have a really old edition of this so I want to get you the newest one. Please PM me about it if you don't have a Kindle, so I know where to have it sent. There is something else in you responses I have to go back and read and respond to, but I forget it now. Please believe in yourself - I doubt very seriously that you are not good at what you do!! Nor do I think you would not be successful in something entirely different. Glad to hear you hear you are thinking of taking time off to consider doing something else. You owe yourself that much.

Me too. He seems to be someone who has a plan, not so spontaneous. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

That WAS a good one! Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Glad you mentioned the YouTube channel. I agree completely about the focusing and healing powers of Yoga. It has gotten me through a lot of pain. So has Pilates, which I am still doing some of as part of my back rehab to strengthen my core and legs again. I haven't found a good YouTube program that I could do with my physical issues. I'll try this one. Thanks! I did just find a great free app called CALM. It has meditations and also wonderful sleep sounds that you choose. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

It is great to be catching up with all of you here. Now I know what everyone was bringing into the Listening Party. That was my favorite playlist yet! @I ran away, I think what you are feeling is a real signal to pay attention to. Sometimes, we get wake-up calls that are really hard to hear. I know that this is not reassuring, and I sincerely want it to be a helpful post. Your feelings could be telling you that you have another calling in life. Possibly your style is in conflict with the line of work you chose so long ago. That you have invested so much in it makes it feel impossibly difficult to walk away from. I have heard of so many people go through that kind of conflict and feel alive again when they find and pursue the work that fulfills their true self. I hope this does not sound like preaching - I don't mean it to. I have a book I'll look for and PM you. It talks about the types of work that fulfill people with different styles, and that which stymies them. I could scan the pages for our style and send them to you. I am sure that you will work through this. I know no one smarter. In grad school and in my first few jobs after, I had a crisis of this sort and went through a depression. I could not reconcile some parts of my job in Human Resources that were so conflict-oriented, like dealing with unions. All I wanted was to train people to get the most and give the most in their work, where they spend the most time in their waking life. So I purposefully pursued that in my roles as much as I could, until I finally broke into the field. My career forced me back into the HR work at times when jobs got eliminated, and it wasn't always easy. But I kept getting drawn back into training. What gets me up in the morning is like what others have said. I just do, and keep going. Put one foot in front of the other. Then I just find something to enjoy each day. Sometimes, it is really little. When I walk the dog on familiar paths, I play a game with myself where I try to observe certain little things, like counting houses with a certain feature. When I'm exhausted, I pick an object that looks far off, then look down and keep looking up every now and then to see it getting closer - then I'm there. You will get there too.

Guy42, I will PM you. Thanks! I'm like Nie's friend. It looks like I'll be going from one surgery to the next this year. You know, Nie's friend has a great perspective!! I love that. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

By all, and thanks for sharing this. It was so relaxing after getting lost in the woods on a 4 mile hike today! My longest yet, I think. Dog is even slightly tired.

@I ran away outdid herself! This was the best 1:42 minutes of my week!!

Don't think I've heard this? I love it. May become a new favorite, but would also like a recorded version without the crowd. Still waiting for that Fray song title...

Coldplay, like MX or later era.

That guitar riff keeps reminding me of a more recent song...but which one??? Scratching my head!

Which song by the Fray?
