Different Ways of Thinking

I read more of Creative Call since last posting and it cited Ann McGee Cooper’s book Time Management for Unmanageable People. I discovered I am a divergent thinker. That is someone who solves lots of problems at once. The opposite is a convergent thinker, who needs to finish one task hen move on to the next. It was a very interesting passage tha showed me two things 1) I am a divergent thinker I accomplish things a little here and a little there with my mind working on one thing while my body works on another, All of this while my husband is an convergent thinker accomplishing one thing at a time, then moving on to the next task. 2) that is the only way our marriage would really work for us.

I am learning how to be more organized due to my marriage to Mario and he is making progress to be more spontaneous from me. I guess the farther I go in one direction the farther he will have to go in the other direction just to keep our marriage balanced. It is wonderful to get surprises from my beloved last week I caught my thumb in the car door and Mario brought me a rose because I had a bad day hurting my hand. That surprise was stepping across the line to divergent thinker and with the pain of the injury convergent thinking was all I had in me. Get dinner on the table and take something for the pain and curl up in the corner somewhere.
