Oh Kryptic Thoughts - How You Misslead Me
(And yes, I totally spelled Cryptic as Kryptic on purpose, for all you grammar gurus out there. lol.)Sometimes I struggle with ADD.
No - not math.
ADD - more commonly known as ADHD.
So I like to read articles like the following from ADDitude Magazine. Love their reads - really. I get a lot of organizational tips as well as ways to find grace in the midst of dealing with this disorder.
So, you'll probably need to read the following article from ADDitude Magazine here:
http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/10235.html
...to understand why I wrote the below back to the ones who posted the article on facebook. It seems to imply that the writer thought that in using the analogy of Kryptonite, we can "repel" bad thoughts away.
Only one problem with that. I thought Kryptonite was a bad thing to have- and it seemed to keep good super people from being super good for the good of others. (Ha, try to say that one ten times fast. I double-dog dare ya. *wink* )
So I wrote the following back to the Facebook poster...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kryptic thoughts...
Isn't Kryptonite the very essence of a force that makes a super-one weak?
An inspiring thought empowers me (not Kryptonite).
A negative thought drains me (absolutely Kryptonite).
(A side note here: The author describes a cycle that an ADD adult gets into that he calls "SLIDE-ing":
"It stands for Self attack, Life attack, Imagining the worst, Dread, and Escape. ADDers "slide" a lot. " (Edward Hallowell, M.D. writer of the article "When Bad Things Happen To ADD people" )
