Peace is not just about waiting for something.....it is about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.
- Joyce Myer
Another great place to practice peaceful mindfulness is in a waiting room as you wait for someone to return from major surgery. We are sitting here waiting and resigned to the fact that is all we can do. We have no power in changing the outcome of that situation going on in there. No matter how much we worry or pace nothing will change. We even took the surgeon's advice and went back to the motel for a bit. I was able to put my hyper charged energy to good use by writing another 2000+ words on my novel. Not knowing when the surgery will be over.....told it will be anywhere from 4-7 hours....we spent the first four hours away. Now the waiting begins ...and that is okay. I feel peaceful and calm, accepting things as they are. It helps that we trust the surgical team in there and we trust Life. It is all good.
All is well in my world.
