Now I know all about Impatience. I don't know much about Impatiens though I think they are cute little flowers, I couldn't pick them out in a flower line up but I am sure they are cute. I do however know all about Impatience you see cause I am filled with that. On the way down from the pre-existance (I just asked Wayne how to spell impatiens and he asked what I was doing. I had also mentioned the line up and his interest was then piqued. He is not among my reading audience, I do not know why, he has not been banned and has been invited. Maybe he feels he gets enough of my unwritten blogs as we lie in bed and have our evening talks. Perhaps he gets his fill.) I totally missed the bucket marked "PATIENCE-grab your fill". I must have been preoccupied with the other buckets called "Fight for what's right" (I am sure it was named something much more elegant but I know I stopped and took handfuls of that one cause that seems to consume my days-sometimes to even MY chagrin-but even I cannot put rest to it), I took a little "creativity" and I know I stopped at the "sarcasm" or was that the "humor" bucket but for darn it I missed the patience one. Any of you people who were my friends then, could you have steered me to that one bucket, just for a little scoop at the last second...? I beg of you....what were you thinking? hehehehehe
So, the other day I noticed an ambulance coming up behind me and I quickly pulled over to the right. (I have noticed in some states it is more of a habit for people to pull over for hearses than for ambulances-for those people....YOU MISSED THE BUS ON THAT ONE!) Can you tell I have no patience? I honestly don't. I can pretend sometimes, but its not real. lol.
So I pull over and a few people behind me pull over and as the said ambulance zooms around taking grandma to the hospital or taking someones father who just had a heart attack to be cared for.....heres my issue.....
Mr Furniture Moving Truck zooms around to get ahead by a car or two. *sigh*
I really felt sad in that moment. Our society is junk in a lot of ways. Shouldn't the ambulance be a reminder that life is quite precious? So then Mr Dumb Moving Truck Decides he needs to advance himself by a car or two. This made no difference to my day, but it did make me think that it was inappropriate and that our society is "rude." I have had my daughter in an ambulance and you hope and you pray that all people will allow you the moment it takes for them to pull over, that you can get to the hospital just a moment quicker, and also remember that they are fortunate not to be in it, that their family is safe and good.
I hope Mr Moving Truck's Rocker/Recliner got delivered that 30 seconds sooner. I bet it made a big difference in his day.
I do happen to believe in Karma....wonder if sometime when he does something like that, to save his few seconds if there won't be a nail waiting there for him. Just a thought. heheheheh
