As I age, I am no longer able to get many things done seemingly instantaneously. For example, I can't clean my house in one go as I used to be able to. Many of the things I am dealing with these days are so multi-layered that it is not possible to do more than make a small dent in the ever-present to do list that faces me daily. Perhaps that is the lesson I am to learn: to forgive myself for not being strong enough, fast enough, smart enough, thorough enough; to have patience with myself and to become aware of my own spiritual poverty and powerlessness in the face of the inevitable passage of time.
This is a very timely post for me too, so thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe Rose Garden will be closing temporarily tomorrow evening (Sunday evening British time) for an up-grade, so don't worry if you can't get on! Hoping to be back on Wednesday with a brand new look!
God bless you,

Thanks, Mrs. P!
ReplyDeleteTAC, I think ur right. I knew I wasn't fleshing out the concept well enough in my post, but you hit the nail on the head.
I think that is one of the great lessons of aging.
