Too often, i find myself unable to have patience. With my kids, with myself.... I need to stack more rocks. it sounds silly, but stacking rocks requires a tremendous amount of patience. Its more than just finding rocks that are perfectly flat and stacking them on top of each other. Anyone could do that. The challenge lies in finding rocks that look like they never could hold their weight against another and finding the slightest way to get them to stack onto each other so sturdy they seem like they will stand against any waves that crash against them (because though you can stack rocks ANYWHERE, the beach is always the best)...
Quite the metaphor though, ay? I need to keep my patience with my children like i do when stacking rocks. it takes tremendous concentration sometimes, other times you get a perfect fit and move quickly onto the next. Raising children is like stacking rocks. If i can take the time to stack more rocks, perhaps the serenity will follow suit and i can relax and stop losing my patience. This is what i will strive for......
strive to
and stack more rocks.
Happy Friday Luvvies
