"Sad woman take it slow/It'll work itself out fine/All we need is just a little patience" Guns N Roses--"Patience"
Sigh, I wished I could have posted to this blog yesterday, but it seemed like every spare moment was plugged up by folks trying to call me, text me and otherwise contact me about getting a divorce or a separation agreement up and running. (Yes, I'm a recovering lawyer...I still have my solo practice, but I'm moving over the accent mark in my life to writing). Anyhow, it shouldn't have shocked me...'tis the season, after all. What, you say? It's true. Most everyone waits until just after the holidays to drop the bomb on the kids that mommy and daddy are splitting up OR they may already be split up but mommy has to take daddy back to court because she wants more child support, or daddy's going to get a restraining order against mommy because she's stalking him and his new chicklet, or whatever the sad, sad storyline is.
I did do my ten minute workout. That's about it. Nastily enough, I didn't even catch a shower afterward. Guess what I did post haste today, y'all? Society thanks me for it, I'm sure. Not that society would have seen much of me yesterday. I was getting phone calls all the way up through dinnertime. I've never seen so much of a push for Splitsville USA all in one day before...all on a Friday, where quite frankly, I'd be trying to enjoy the weekend, but what do I know? Thankfully I'm not trolling for a separation or a divorce. My husband is an angel, busily decorating the mantel in the living room to match the new season. My son is angel number two, watching Your Baby Can Read! and diligently reading over 100 words at the tender age of two years, two months.
So, obviously Rome cannot be built in one day. I didn't have time to carve out for more than a ten minute workout, but hey, I did and I have to celebrate that. I can't be so hard on myself that I haven't been able to announce to the Internet that, Hey, I lost another pound, hello 150's! That day will come. It will probably come next week. I need to have patience. And maybe, so do you. If you haven't achieved your desired goal of having lost another pound yet, or whatever it may be, take it easy on yourself. Do what you can do today, and plan towards how you can do more tomorrow. One baby step at a time. The important thing is, don't take your eyes of the prize. You'll get there. Be patient. There's a reason why it's a virtue.
