The simplicity of my day to day. |
This is where I write my thoughts, feelings and my daily trials, tribulations and happy things

Prompt: "The two most powerful warriors are patience and time." Leo Tolstoy War and Peace Write about this in your Blog entry today. Patience and time. These things are often in short supply. Since Iāve retired thereās more time, but I still donāt know where the days, weeks, months and years go to. Iām probably the most impatient person I know of. I refuse to queue for anything. If thereās a queue, even at the bakery, Iāll go and do something else and return when the line of more patient people has dispersed. And yet I find myself telling the younger members of the family to just hang in there and wait and see. āThis too will change.ā This was one of my mumās favourite saying. āNothing stays the same.ā Itās so true isnāt it? We simply need to have patience and wait for things to change and invariably they do. Time is becoming my enemy now. Itās stealing the years away. I look at my great grandchildren and realise with a pang I wonāt be there to see them grow to beā¦whatever it is they see as their future lives. Perhaps Iāve always been in too much of a hurry. When the babies were small, I wished for the next milestone, and the next, until suddenly they were grown with little ones of their own. I would wish that time would hurry up and arrive for future plans to come to fruition, instead of enjoying the NOW. Because NOW is all we have. |
