For as long as I can remember, I’ve wished I had more patience. As a mother of four, I begged for it! Not sure how I’ve done over the years, but I’m having a big time lesson now.
I had surgery right before Christmas. It was elective and everything is ok, but it turned out to be a little more complicated, so I’m having to take a little more time to recover. I’ve learned that I’m not a very patient patient. In my mind, I can bounce back from this like I did when I was thirty and had my fourth child and was back carpooling and leading meetings and running errands in a week or two. So far, I can do everything, but it’s just a little slower. I had planned my recovery time…organized it, so to speak, so I could work on some projects that weren’t very strenuous. Ha! I did finish a book I’d started. I get going just like normal and then I crash for a day or so. Annoying.
Besides recovering, I caught a major cold. Another annoyance that makes me impatient.
You’d think I’d know by now that I’m not really in charge of much in life. I only make plans so I can take care of things when life isn’t making plans for me.
Really, it’s not that bad. Mostly, I’m just shocked that I’ve had to slow down for a bit. I’m not very good at sitting still. I may not be doing what I’m supposed to be doing, but I’m doing something.
Mostly, I have to laugh at myself. I haven’t changed a bit! I’m always going to have to beg for patience!
A motivating discussion is worth comment. I think that you ought to write more about this topic,
it may not be a taboo subject but typically people do not discuss these topics.
To the next! Best wishes!!
Thank you!
I leave a response whenever I appreciate a post on a website or
if I have something to valuable to contribute to the conversation.
Usually it is caused by the passion communicated in the post I read.
And on this article The Patient | Confetti Thoughts.
I was excited enough to write a comment 😛 I do have 2 questions for you if it’s okay.
Is it only me or does it appear like some of the comments appear like left by brain dead individuals?
😛 And, if you are writing at additional online sites,
I would like to keep up with you. Would you make a list every one of all your public pages like your
Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
Thank you for the nice comment. This is my only site, http://www.confettithoughts.com. I hope you enjoy my thoughts and adventures.
