Progress vs. Patience


"Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be." - Kahil Gibran, "A Handful Of Sand On The Shore"

Today was an exercise, and I mean this word literally, in patience. Exercise because of the physical exertion and creativity preparing our apartment again for the carpet cleaners. I spent at least two hours moving storage containers, laundry baskets, chairs, barstools, file containers and on and on...Vaccumed the floor as well as possible with my insomnia TV sweeper. Almost everything is up off the floor in my bedroom. Picked up, but did not sort - I will do that as I replace necessary items. I have a vision of what I want my living space to look like after all of the sorting. (Keep in mind that this is all being done from my wheelchair.)

Anyway, I was stood up by the carpet cleaners again!!! I called and left a message. Patience, patience! I'm keeping everything just as it is and am not putting away anything ! I'm grateful for today. I woke up dry and warm. No unexpected bathroom runs either. Good thing. My bathroom is totally full of stuff that I refuse to move out again until the carpet is cleaned. Hopefully. this will happen tomorrow! Have patience and remember Gibron's words of wisdom...
