I am learning patience. Patience for the morning light-headedness. Patience for my zombie-until-noon drug induced state. Patience for myself and my weight loss. Patience for B and his timeframe for things. Patience for my friends and my relationships with them. Patience for my sleep disorder (trying). Patience for waking up. Patience before meals. Patience for my hair growing out. Patience for it all.
If there is anything I’ve learned recently, it’s that people only ever do things exactly when they decide to do them. No amount of prodding or suggesting from any of us makes a difference until we decide that we’re ready to do it. I am learning this, slowly. Patience is key.
