Anne of Avonlea

I finished reading Anne of Green Gables a few weeks ago and now I am reading the second book of the series Anne of Avonlea. I came across this line today that I really connected to. Anne has just finished her first day as a teacher and Marilla her adopted mother asks her how the day went. She replies, "Ask me that a month later and I may be able to tell you. I can't now --I don't know myself. . .I'm too near it. My thoughts feel as if they had been all stirred up until they were thick and muddy."
I love the imagery and metaphor of how her feelings were stirred up and muddy. I feel this way a lot. I feel so much and so many different things all at the same time often it is difficult for me to sort them out. If I don't take time to ponder and weigh things out I usually mispeak or let my chaos of feeling direct me in a mixed up direction as well.
I think I will take Anne's example more often to give myself time to sort things out before expressing myself.
