"I Will Go Sailing No More"

Found this song on Youtube, since I never watched any of the Toy Story movies. What a depressing, yet poignant song about life, getting older, etc. As I mentioned before, as I have some arthritis, there are certain things I could do 5 years ago that I can't do now--which makes this song especially hit home for me. The song is called, "I will go sailing no more"

You never know what life is going to throw at you, and what effect it will have on your mind,body, spirit,etc. I've been lucky in the sense that there are a lot of things I got done when I was younger--like travelling, cycling, etc, so that I don't have too many regrets about not doing them. Sadness, yes...because some of the stuff I'd have more trouble doing now.

Mark Twain said it best...

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

I don't know...it's been a really frustrating couple of weeks--like a car in a snowbank, trying to get out...wheels are spinning, and absolutely no movement is happening. Of course, it would go more smoothly and ideally if I had more patience. lol!! Patience is not my virtue--never has been. Whether it's with friends, family, co-workers, the man, or God...I don't like to wait. I'm the type pf person who'd pray, "Lord, give me patience, and I want it now".

Of course, with everything..there are upsides and downsides. Not being patient often gets people moving, and improves the chances of getting what you want, because you're not willing or able to wait while people take their sweet blessed time for absolutely no reason whatsoever. NONE. Of course, if that isn't the case...being impatient only increases your stress level to the point where you're apoplectic.

I guess it's something I have to work on...Lord give me patience...and I'm prepared to wait...:)
