Paitience/Impatience - Chip for Friday

[caressa]

Awaiting a phone call today, so am trying to keep busy and let things unfold as they should.

I cancelled the room at the YWCA and have made the decision to stay here until the end of the month and not pay rent twice. I realized that I reacted out of fear and wanting things fixed now instead of allowing things to happen as they are meant to be. I was willing to wait and forgot that I was here for a reason, not sure what but must not be impatient with God, myself, and life.

sounds like a good plan to me. I'd say acting out of FEAR does not usually bring results that are best for us.

Patience and impatience? i am very much on the patience side of this one. I ahve been off all week for fall break. I got some organizing done, and got some things togethere for a yard sale my neighbor is having tomorrow. I wont be able to stay and help her after we set up in the monring because of my 2nd job, but i do think I will sell alot of my STUFF. I am being patient today with myself as with others.

It is now like six weeks that hubby has been home with his blood clot (DVT) and my patience is beginning to wear a little thin. As far as the doctor is concerned he is fine and can do everything he wants as long as he takes his meds. OK I can see being concerned in the first few weeks until he is stabilized on the meds but now it is beginning to be a joke. I am not going to sit here and baby him into oblivion. He has two hands and two legs and can do just as much work as I can. Geeze he could at least make his bed, or wash his coffee cup.

The one thing that I have learned from all of this nonsense is just how self sufficient I really am. I can stand on my own two feet and get things done without any help or encouragement from the "A" . I am a person in my own right and have my own wants and needs and that comes first. If I don't take care of me I am of no use to anyone else.

Love & God Bless
