waiting

i thought i would take Monday's to talk a little about my one word, waiting...even though today is Tuesday...see even you had to wait!  lol

i was in the dentist chair yesterday.  finally.  i had waited some time to get there.  it was one thing or another that kept me from the chair.  my dentist had a migraine...i had a migraine...dentist got the flu...i finally got in to do the prep work for a crown on a tooth that i had a root canal on several months ago.  the tooth had cracked and there is not enough left to crown.  so now i have to see an oral surgeon to have the tooth pulled, and have a bridge made.  CRAP!!  i go next week to have it pulled, then have to (you guessed it) wait for about 4 weeks for it to heal to begin the bridge work.

i see my word is in full swing!  i do expect it to reveal much in me and teach much this year.

and i waited at T J Maxx!

as i was driving to Barnes and Noble one morning this thought popped into my mind ...you need a new bag!!!  i need a new bag like a need another hemorrhoid. (that's another subject) but on the way to Barnes and Noble my car just turned into the parking lot of T J Maxx.  and i got out and went in...had to!!  even looked at all the new bags.  here is where i say, i'll just spend this much, no more. of course all the bags i loved were over that amount!!!  guess what word popped into my mind???  yep, waiting! i walked out of the store with the cute bag i already owned!!

i really want to watch what i buy this year.  i buy too many things that i don't need and have accumulated too much stuff.  i am trying to say to myself, enough is enough.

if you have chosen a word this year, i would love to know what it is, and would love to hear how you are living it during the year.

grace, peace, and love to you all!
