The other day my husband came into my studio area from his study - clear across the house - to ask me who I was talking to. Couldn't he tell? Yes, I was talking to myself. I do that often -- just chattering away to no one but whoever is inside my head at the time.
There's a whole family in there you know -- sometimes it gets so crowded and raucous that I have to take a walk to get away from them all *smile*. Other times I try to meditate them away -- but they are very persistent.
Most of the time they give me very good advice -- sometimes I'm led astray. However, if I make a mistake or follow the wrong path there is always another voice to say 'what on earth are you doing?'
Now if some of them would only make a 'real' appearance and help me clean up this place -- its a mess.

Nope, don't talk out loud to those voices yet. Probably because I always have a dog at my feet and speak freely to him. Terry is ALWAYS talking to the TV. If I am in another room, I hear him and walk into the living room to see what he said. It drives me CRAZY..maybe I DO talk to those voices and just don't know it..lol.

Yup, that's what I do...talk, talk, talk out loud and don't know it. I was so surprised when my daughter told me that I talk to myself a lot. Didn't know it! Lol.
