About Me

My photo
It has been 6 years since I started this blog. It remains "live" because I know that there is someone else out there who can relate to what I felt during that time. Who knows how many people get dumped everyday, the numbers must be high. We live in a " Me-me-me" world where respect and truth have diminished as good character traits in favor of shallow and selfish behavior. I just want to share with you that there is light on the other side. That recovery is a slow process to allow you to come out whole and healthier. We all deserve love. None of us deserve to be treated like something you trade in. Take the time you need to heal, you will be stronger for it.

The Saga of Instant Gratification

It is a short saga.
Very short.
We have all had something that we have really wanted in life.
We hated to wait for it, and wished it would happen right now.
Currently, I have the same feeling..wish it would happen right now, I really do.
But reality and adulthood means you sometimes have to wait
until the time is right, OR- the work that needed to be done first is complete.
As adults we know this.
Kids..do not have adult reasoning,
if they want something, they see no reason to wait,
they want it right now.
Waiting, or Reasoning why is not yet an accomplished part
of their mind set.
As an adult, have you ever had to try and reason with a two year old?
It is not possible, even if you talk till you are blue in the face.
Black and white..no shades of gray..yes or no.
As they grow older, you can expect them to understand more of the whys.
(Three to five year olds..with the why,what..questions, are in development)
You expect more from an adult.
Wait till after the work is accomplished,
you will be rewarded..in good time.
There is no black or white, yes or no answer.
Sorry to have to explain that.
In time you will get what you want.
Please be patient.
