Where do you get all your ideas from? Are they solely your thoughts? Are you like me ... my thoughts are formed, shaped, molded by listening to the world around me my every waking moment. This is solely what I think ... thoughts are the stepping stones of life. We can skip from one to the other as each thought occurs. My thoughts are influenced by what goes on around me, what my eyes see ... what I hear. I ask for others' opinions to help me form my own opinion. I weigh others' thoughts to see if I want to add them to the mixture of other thoughts in my head. I compare it to making a pot of homemade soup ... the ingredients are most important. No one likes the same style, flavor of soup so ... they experiment with this ... that ... until they come up with their own way of doing things. They have gone from ingredient to ingredient ... tossing out what doesn't work. Same way with thoughts (this is strictly my opinion only). We wouldn't be ... without thoughts. We might be in a vegetative state or wandering throughout the world aimlessly ... we are noticed by our thoughts that make the world we all live in. We are all linked through thought. Thoughts are the stepping stones in our lives ... think about it. Thoughts shape our world to make it nicer (yes, I know there are people who use their stepping stones to make the world a bad place). Like my photo here ... thoughts change this picture as the day begins ... one thought to another until ... finally ... sunshine! Note by this Author: Photo, story owned, written by Gloria Faye Brown Bates/aka Granny Gee. I was thinking about a lot of things this morning. I had many thoughts ... I was thinking about how our thoughts link us ... lead us to wonderful things in this world ... creating, inventing. I thought ... our thoughts are the stepping stones in this world.

I like tinkering with things always thinking about what else something can be used for when they no longer serve their original purpose.

You are right about thoughts. I pick up ideas on the net and then these ideas make me think about things and the things bring associations and then I could just write and write.

I guess mine are like pebbles bouncing in a dryer. Lots of little varied thoughts of different sizes of importance ricocheting inside my cranium.

Thoughts can make a difference -- if they are good progressive thoughts.
