Manhandling Monday
Monday! Another day of challenges and struggles with the Monday blues. But well, I'm holding on to the fact that winter will always turn into spring. That things can only look up from where we are.
And plus Man Crush Monday whut! How fitting!

Thursday Trash
Oooh there goes a bag of twisties! The litter has increased so much, and they're strewn all over the place. We live right in the middle of it all, and we're all okay with that???

Hum drum Tuesday
A massive headache has been bequeathed unto me. And yesterday's post missed the daylights of this blog. My apologies!

The Seeming Impasse
What sort of traits do you want to attain by the end of the year?
Patience.
This has been something that I've always acknowledged.
Something I've been aware of since I can remember (as a kid getting reprimanded sprinkled with stories as I grew up). Even as a little girl, I was rather easily agitated, quick to react, yes, react. And would find ways to be the last to speak. Even when I was out with whoever and was bored, I'd actually start getting antsy, wanting to leave faster than they could ask "how bout this?". Often times, I find myself making rather hasty decisions (though many of them they prove to work out pretty well in my favor!), and even to this day, find it a challenge to hold back during a conversation.
"Patience in itself is a great challenge, and that it often holds the key to breaking through a seeming impasse"
Last night I met a woman who moved to a foreign country to marry her husband, despite not even knowing the language. Now seven years later, her grasp of the language is (in her words) slowly but steadily improving. But being home alone when he works, with a 16 month old baby (without the help of family), life can get her down. And plus, raising a child, no matter where you are, is an extremely honorable task. And watching her interact with her child (despite the chaos: being surrounded by a huge group of people, with bottles, ceramic plates, and food), I wondered about losing one's cool. It would take so much to be as patient as she was with her child. She would still embrace her child, laugh about how silly all that was, and wouldn't raise her voice or hit the child. Instead she got another lady to act a little mad, to prevent the child from continuing the same behavior.. I asked her about being patient as a mother, and she said that it is definitely one of the most difficult things to be: patient.
But hey, before you let your mind wonder too far and get the wrong idea..
No, I'm
//I know it's not going to be an easy road, but hey, we all got to start from somewhere and work on it constantly. Even if a pause is taken, as long as it's acknowledged and the journey continues form there.
