Thoughts from the Glenoid Fossa

I love when my shoulders pop. I'm sure some people hate it, but I really like it. What I don't like, however, is when my shoulder pops accidentally--when I just happen to turn or reach for something and my shoulder pops on its own. When that happens, I feel like I'm caught off-guard, cheated out of the opportunity to enjoy my shoulder popping.

We really can't control the release of air from our synovial joints, nor can we control what happens in our lives. However, we can try to be aware of what's going on with ourselves--to enjoy the good things that are happening to us while they're happening to us.

I heard somebody say today that some percentage of people spend most of their time thinking about something other than what they're doing. There's probably an actual statistic out there somewhere that will make this blog post sound much more legitimate, but maybe we do spend more time daydreaming than doing. And while we're daydreaming, we're caught off-guard by things that are real.

Pretty powerful stuff to come from one almost-satisfying shoulder pop.
