Jake and I were talking about being positive in a marriage. I mentioned I'd read in a lesson manual that if we focus on the positives of our spouse it will make it easier to forgive their shortcomings. He said he learned in school (can't remember which class) that the human brain really can only focus on one thing at a time. Multi-tasking is really just an ability to switch between multiple things/thoughts quickly.
That made a lot of sense to me, because I could often say that when I'm multi-tasking the things I am doing are not really getting done as well as they could. I would imagine that's because they aren't being alotted my real attention :)
SO....if we focus on the positive attributes of our spouse...while we are doing that, we really won't be able to focus on the negative...sounds good to me!
Of course as I am writing this the darn light in the living room above me is flickering and I can't help but wonder if every time I think about that I am removing some of my thought power to write this post :)
