Luisa Musgrove knows what I’m talking about

This is one of my favorite lessons I learned.  I feel like my progress is finally showing.  It was all complaining for awhile, now time for growth.

“A watched pot never boils.”

Not a Jane quote obviously but as I was impatiently watching a pot of lukewarm water this saying popped into my head and I thought…Well that is not necessarily true is it? A watched pot does boil, and it takes just as long as it would have if you were not watching it.  However, if you were patient and found constructive activities to occupy your time while waiting it wouldn’t feel like any time at all.

With all that being said, I related this to men and finding “the” guy.

I have a friend who dwells on the fact that she is single, asks God daily “What is wrong with me that no one wants me?” And she has asked me on more than one occasion how I am OK with being single?
A. She hasn’t read this or she would know that I am not always OK.
B. I have always wanted to say to her that I don’t always dwell on it. I find other things to do and think about.

He’s coming. He is coming at the exact same speed and timing he was always going to come. Have faith. Live your life.
“Your life is an occasion, rise to it.”  ~Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
Don’t sit around and watching the pot full of water. It will boil so just go write a screenplay or travel, he’ll be there when you get back!
