If I were reincarnated, this would be the lesson I’d be
working on: Chop Wood, Carry Water. I promise I’m not a slacker, but I do have a
tendency to dream, plan, and set goals.
Sometimes I get lost in the goal-setting and dreaming and forget to do
the work.
Part of my issue is a decided lack of patience. For most of my life, what I wanted just
materialized, and usually pretty quickly.
But that no longer seems to be true.
My new mantra is “Things come to those who wait.” And I don’t much like waiting. In fact, I hate waiting so much that I’ve decided
it must be my true work. WAITING.
It seems that everything in my life right now has congealed
around this concept. I want to shake
things up, make things happen, and move on with my goals and plans. But my traveling legs are set in Redi-Mix
that has already started hardening.
You’d think that since I’ve gotten a bit older, I would be
better at being patient. But the
opposite is true; time feels short and I’m rarin’ to go. Sometimes it doesn’t even matter where, as
long as it’s in a forward direction.

I’m trying hard to be content with what I have, while
working for what I want next. But why does the dance have to feel so
awkward? And must time move so slowly?
Have you figured out
how to master this waiting thing in your own life? I’d love to hear about how you deal with
it. Please feel free to leave a comment. And, as always, thanks for reading my posts!

Marianne,
ReplyDeleteNo wonder we clicked from the start. Your words on this blog are like looking in a mirror for me. That's exactly what I do when I become impatient with me or my circumstances! I do what I feel is more work, those things that have been on my "list" for a while. Once I finally get those things done, off my list, it seems I can finally make headway in the bigger picture. May just be nothing more than a feeling...but that is the all important thing isn't it feeling like we're achieving our goals one step at a time. Even if those steps are baby steps. Which mine are mostly! I guess the bottom line for me here is if I'm doing, doing something, I'm not waiting!!
