In my life, I experience frequent shivers of excitement, which are generally then followed by a few minutes to even hours of reminiscing. This happening is what I call a natural high. And I think everyone experiences it often if not daily. I don’t know why we get them; I just know how we get them. Somewhere on our personal timeline, we had a moment of pleasure or irresistible joy. We had a great time to say the least. With that moment was present a stimulus to one or more of our five senses. As we continue on through our timeline, beyond that one happy moment, we cross paths with that unconditioned stimulus from long ago. We rapidly notice it, associate it, then BAM! We experience a natural high. We are completely surrounded by recollections of that one happy moment. And for those that have many happy moments, they experience natural highs constantly.
I happen to be one of those people. I am constantly encircled about with unconditioned stimulus’s that trigger a conditioned response, or a natural high. It’s amazing how something so small and so simple can have such a dramatic affect on me.
I think this will be the theme for this blog.
To those who may stumble across this blog, searching for enlightenment on a snowy day, I’m sorry to tell you that you will have no such luck here. Well, maybe you will. I’m not quite sure yet what this blog will consist of. All I know is that I need to write and having an invisible audience helps me accomplish this. I may designate this blog as an informative website, I don’t know what information I would include, it just seems like a good idea. For now I will blog about the things that interest me, that may or may not interest the reader; if there happens to be any readers. Readers are welcome to comment or criticize anything I say or do. They are also welcome to send me money, for whatever reason they think is deserving of such. I’m not anticipating money. I just think it would be nice. So with that, I will now commence with the grand opening of Tales from the Trail….
