Unconscious Mutterings


Free association is described as a "psychoanalytic procedure in which a person is encouraged to give free rein to his or her thoughts and feelings, verbalizing whatever comes into the mind without monitoring its content." Over time, this technique is supposed to help bring forth repressed thoughts and feelings that the person can then work through to gain a better sense of self.

That's an admirable goal, but for the purposes of this exercise, we're just hoping to have a little fun with the technique. Each week I'll post ten words to which you can respond to with the first thing that comes to mind.

"Rules are, there are no rules." There are no right or wrong answers. Don't limit yourself to one word responses; just say everything that pops into your head. AND you don't have to have your words up on Sunday. Take all week if you want!

Time for word association already?

Groceries fly off my shelves, too. Now I'm singing "Spooky little girl like u!" Your answer to delivery was ... awesome!

Hi Lucy!

Just spent some time catching up on your posts ... your sense of humor keeps me smiling! Hope the neurotic doggie has calmed down.

Have a great Labor Day weekend.
