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 I’ve retired there’s more time, but I still don’t know where the days, weeks, months and years go to. I’m probably the most impatient person I know of. I refuse to queue for anything. If there’s a queue, even at the bakery, I’ll 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. “This too will change.” This was one of my mum’s favourite saying. “Nothing stays the same.” It’s so true isn’t it? We simply need to have patience and wait for things to change and invariably they do. Time is becoming my enemy now. It’s stealing the years away. I look at my great grandchildren and realise with a pang I won’t be there to see them grow to be…whatever it is they see as their future lives. Perhaps I’ve 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. |
