I'd like to think "IT" is around the corner...just waiting to surprise me. The moment...the day, I do not know...but I must wait.
Patience is a virtue, is it not? I shall sit as patiently as I can and wait, for after all isn't life about waiting?
...in my case anxiously.
So I'll continue to think that "IT" is just waiting for the right moment to come into my life. What will "IT" say to me when the time comes?
"IT" shall say..."I'm sorry I kept you waiting, but life is about learning to live without me and about grasping those brief moments I do show up. Take those moments and hold them to your heart for I'm not always here. BUT...I will come back and stay....you just wait!"
And so here I am....waiting, and waiting, and waiting. What is "IT" you wonder?
IT is the ever elusive Happiness.
Please don't take too long to show up....dearest IT.
xoxo

Oh what an elusive and sneaky little creature is happiness, always lurking in the brightness of the sunshine waiting to surprise us when we least expect. Maybe it will give us a tickle when we see a butterfly or rose then other times it will hide for days on end. But it is never far away and will always come back.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Judy
Oh I hope "IT" will come back to stay, very soon. You are too lovely and young, to remain unhappy.
ReplyDeleteGentle hugs,
Aunt Amelia
Sometimes I just have to grab happiness in little bits and pieces. I hope IT returns to you soon! That photo is beautiful, by the way! ~Lori
ReplyDeleteI've set out many traps for IT, but alas, IT has not taken the bait. Mayhaps I should put the bait in a feeder or toss it on the ground. IT never seems to arrive where we want it or where we can grasp it readily. IT seems to float in like a lovely butterfly we didn't expect or a ring-necked snake as we clear out years' worth of weeds (which happened to me yesterday, and that was my quick does of IT). Or mayhaps it's already in my hands and I'm having trouble seeing it, which is often MY issue! Ah well :)
ReplyDeleteMy Dears,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words and thoughts. I have my moments when I feel I'm carrying all the world upon my shoulders. It hasn't been easy, but truthfully it hasn't been bad. I'm grateful for all that I have...I've just been missing IT quite a bit lately. That's all.....
Hello Judy,
Yes, it most happens when we least expect it. Happiness is a funny thing. It's nice for it to surprise us, but it would be even nicer for it to come when we most desperately need it. I must be content with those special moments when I smile and say ahhhh...this is it. Now how does one hold on to it?? :)
Aunt Amelia,
You are so sweet...I believe it will come. I just feel it's taking so long. I must understand that just because life has dealt me so much unhappiness within the past few years, it doesn't mean I automatically am deserving of a huge dose of happiness. No, like everything else in life, I must work to bring happiness to myself..some way, somehow.
Lori,
I'm, grabbing...or at least trying to grasp it. It comes and goes so quickly that sometimes I can't even touch it. Oh well...it'll come around again. I just have to be ready. Yes, the picture is one of my favorites. It inspires beauty and a sense of peace.
Joy,
Hmmm...perhaps you are using the wrong bait.
I have seen it floating by in a dragonfly. It made for a lovely moment.
As for having happiness in your own hands, I believe part of happiness is being carried in your arms on a daily basis. IT isn't always seen though...what an enigma!
Hugs all around my dears!!!

Just don't give up on IT. You are a strong person and a sweet person--something not everyone can say about themselves! Try and measure IT in moments. Longer periods will come in time, I'm sure, but everyday has at least a few IT moments. Think Knightley snuggles and Spring flowers...
ReplyDeletePlease come see me...I have something for you today! ~Lori
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteFriend of my heart...I shall remain strong and patient. I shan't give up on IT. You are quite right, for IT shows up in the Knightley snuggles and the sight of pretty flowers...and dragonflies,...and in the company of dear friends.
Love you!! xoxo
Lori,
I'll shall come and see you.
hugs!
Sandra

have you ever read "The Beast in the Jungle"? I wish I new the balance of patience, contentment, ambition, and initiative. Nice picture, by the way.
ReplyDeleteHello JRL,
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by! No, I've never read The Beast In The Jungle. I must see what it's about. Is there a balance of patience, contentment, etc...? For as you can tell, I just don't know. I guess we live, experience, feel, and learn. Ahhh such is life.
Yes,I love that picture...so serene.
I hope you are having a lovely day. Please stop by again!
