January
has been about
Patience
waiting
for results
waiting
for snow.
There is a saying,
good things come
to those
who wait.
I've learned
this lesson
once before
three years later
I was blessed with
my babies.
So we shall continue
to wait
wait for the retreat
of glaucoma
wait for restored vision
in his Eye
BUT
the snow is here!
Some of us
enjoyed it
and some of us
did not.
But to be fair
she needed time
don't we all
when we experience
something new
our responses
can vary
certainly crying
is one way
I've dealt with
something new.
This girl
deals with life
slowly
but surely
whether it's
being born
being held
learning to eat
learning to move
feeling grass
feeling water
she just
needs time.
I can totally
relate
change
growth
new stuff
like fluffy white snow
these things
are hard
and so is
patience
especially when
you really don't know
where it all
will lead you to.
This one though
he is
not afraid
never has been
wasn't long
till he was
plowing through
the white stuff
like a little Eskimo.
He would fall
and get right back
up
with stuffy snow pants on
and all
that's what he does
that's what he has
always done.
Life
pushed him down
before he even knew
how to get
back up
and he still
does it anyway.
He just
brushes himself off
and gets back
in the game.
And game there was
watching
our crazy dog
try
to climb
a tree!
Truly
she is trying
to jump
and climb
the tree.
Lesson learned
try
try and fail
try and succeed
nothing is accomplished
unless you
try.
She started to try
She touched the snow.
He tried
to taste the snow.
The dog
didn't get up
the tree
but she had fun
trying.
I tried
to get a good shot
of both of them
together enjoying
the snow
this is my
best shot.
I tried.
I am trying
to be
patient
to just
relax
embrace
enjoy
each moment
whether the result
is good
or bad
there is
peace
in
patience.
And look who
is smiling
in the
snow!
