Sandra is Thinking About the New Year…
Life is a journey of love, learning, happiness, sadness, pain and learning. I am so excited, most days, to be in the thick of it, feeling, laughing, thinking and changing. It is going to be a new year soon, and a good friend said one thing I MIGHT seriously need to work on is patience. I agree in terms of waiting in lines, sitting in traffic and when teaching someone something..BUT in reality, I am a smorgasbord kind of girl, give me a little of everything RIGHT NOW… food buffets are like heaven to me. I don’t like having to order one entree for dinner at a restaurant.. so unfair… I always want a little of everything IMMEDIATELY.
I am going to TRY to have more patience in terms of situations mentioned above, like LINES, Strangers doing annoying things around me, driving, patience with “myself,” etc… There is also another kind of patience.. and that is with going for what you want, goal setting, etc. I am of the school that we could die any minute, and IF we have too much patience, we might not experience what it is we “want” by sitting around being patient and waiting for something to happen…maybe that is the caveat here, what we “want” versus what we “need.” Is that the big PLAN, the spiritual way of life, to just act on what we NEED? But isn’t a big, happy part of life getting what we “want” too? Isn’t there so much pleasure in what we WANT versus what we NEED? The yin and the yang of it all.. is what makes decisions difficult sometimes. I say EFF it, go for what you want, in the time that works for you… YOU HAVE TO… IT IS YOUR LIFE… Life is fleeting as a motherf>>>>r.. we all know that… if something we “Want” is going to make us happy, I am of the school that we MUST go for it within reason, otherwise, the moment could be lost forever. It’s LIFE, LIVE IT.. but I guess I will try to pepper a little patience in there where I can… if appropriate… ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—- EFF appropriate! I gotta be ME… I WANT, I WANT, I WANT, that can’t be BAD… we all WANT something…even if it is internal satisfaction.. we still “want it”… and we all must decide what it is we NEED… so confusing.. seriously, I just want to have a really good time, smile, love, and just BE….where ever I may be and whomever I may be with…
yup, barefoot, grass, flipflops= happiness
