Patience

Patience, a word, a practice, something we all seem to avoid, we want it now, that's why were carry credit cards right? and often we take that same want need greed, into relations and work and every aspect of our daily life's. never wanting to wait till it's the right time, but waiting for the right time is always the best. To soon and the satisfaction is often not what we thought it would be, or the outcome would have been better if we had done as our hearts dictated and waited a little longer. Something we so often learn after the fact. We live in an instant gratification world driven by our wants and desires and the "gotta have it now" mentality fed to us daily by the media of entertainment, yet life isn't a 2 hour movie, a hour long episode, or a 30 minute sitcom, it is life, and with strength of character and friendships and family, we can all learn patience and learn to breath and wait till the timing is right .. in what we do here we learn that quality takes time, and a rush job often comes back for more work when if we had done the job right it would have reflect the craft of our trades... enjoy this day, and in the end, look back and say to yourself well done, life is a grand adventure, enjoy it, don't push it - <3

Minds

How the mind works, often in strange ways, a scent a smell, a glance, triggers a long forgotten memory and they all come flooding back, oh, nah, never forgotten, yet they return with all the emotions you felt at the time they were made, yet they return with less and less pain, and the essence of what was remains, the kind words, the touch of thought, of heart, the time she picked me up and washed my wounds, listened to my stories and smiled, told me life would be "ok" Then slowly I watched her own scars she kept hidden from the world heal one by one, from a simple time of sharing the thoughts that held us captive to dreams that can never be dreams of what life should be for two so well matched. Then we learned to accept what life did offer, that to bring pain to others so close was not the way, and through the years now apart, the memories of her still have a way of touching my heart, she still brings a smile with each distant recurring thought she will forever be my bossette <3

Back to Back

back to back they would stand, the waves of evil still surround, yet they do not quit, they fight on..... time to hit it again, for this life is the one we live and we choose each day to rise and fight again, would that life was simple, we could lay back and the needs of our body cared for, but then what adventures could we tell our children and their children. I say nah, tis far better to battle the day, for there are days when the ships will sail with the easy breeze and days the storms of life shall prevail, but only for a time, for each day we will rise again to go forth.. for that is life upon worldly battle ground we walk each day.. stay strong stay shape and enjoy the ride!!
