I've Seen This Room Before!

Finally it's happening. We're moving in!

The foyer is set up the way it's supposed to be. I stepped back to admire it, and was surprised that I didn't get that "Oh, wow!" feeling. Why not? I wasn't seeing anything new! As I smugly told Don, "I've already seen this room, this way, at least a thousand times already, in my mind. It's not new."

It's been said by many an inspirational speaker and world-class athlete. What the mind can imagine, the body can achieve.

Lanny Bassham, Olympic Gold Medalist in smallbore rifle, called it "mental management." Others have called it "mental rehearsal," "mental imagery," or just "mental training."

Some might just say, "If you can dream it, you can do it."

They're right.

Maybe we'll finally find that camera bettery this week! I think I'd better mentally rehearse that.
