Morning Coffee

Interesting find this morning.... in addition to November being NaNoWriMo, it's also NaBloPoMo on BlogHer.  National Blog Post Month.  Or maybe they do it every month and I just discovered there was a party going on without me. 

Prompt for today is... "Tell us you favorite quotation and why? 

Oddly, my quotation involves a little bit of reverse psychology on myself.  "Good things come to those who wait."  My Dad used to say it to me when I was growing up.  When we were out fishing or hunting, it would always make an appearance.  It stuck with me over the years.  In junior high, I had to write out a quote in horrible calligraphy for an art class.  That's the quote I chose.  I think it applies to many things because patience is most definitely a virtue.   

However, I think believing in patience as a solution to achieving anything is misleading.  Dreams don't come to fruition by doing nothing; by waiting around and waiting around and waiting around.  Sometimes waiting is the last thing a person should do.  Years of your life will fly by if you sit around just waiting on something to come your way.  When I get frustrated about things not happening or patience not producing, I look at what can be done to alter the path.  Persistance is more important than patience.  The quote not only reminds me to be patient but also to be persistent..

As for the rest of the morning... I'm sipping coffee from my I Like Ike mug and grumbling about how sore I am.  Defensive tactics was much more of a workout than it felt like yesterday.  Everything is sore!  I guess this just shows the benefits of cross training more than anything.

I'm off to shower and get ready for work.  It will be my first day back on the street in almost two weeks.  This should be interesting!!
