Did we know those closest to us in another life? I’ve always envisioned playing Kickball with my best friend, and then saying “See You Later” when it’s time to go to our selected parents. LOL I’ve had that same thought since I was about six, and I guess I’ll never really know…but I do think we’re all linked before being connected in the flesh.
My best friend’s name is Sabreen. Her name means patience. One thing’s for sure. I am not Sabreen. LOL I am one of the most impatient people you will ever meet. That’s gonna get me in trouble, and I am trying to be more Sabreen (patient) but I’m not sure if that’s in my chemical makeup. There’ve been plenty of times when I’ve thought, “I should have been slapped for that comment.” But I just can’t help myself! I can’t force myself to be patient. I guess that’s why she’s in my life – to add more thought bubbles before I crash and burn.
She’s the one who will literally pull me by that coat tails and say, “Ok, do you think that’s a smooth move? Do you REALLY think you should say that?” And I’ll be yelling, “YEA!” and she’ll say, “Um no, get back here!” Or she might just say, “Go for the Gusto!” and no matter what the decision, she’s either be cheering me on or there to be a listening ear instead of hastily saying, “I told you so!”
In that way, I admire Sabreen. I do analyze before making a move but more often than not, my decisions come from a combination of my heart and mind. Dog on it, I wish I could be more patient. Perfect example – my 8th birthday at Sports Park. All of my pee-wee friends and I were golfing and Sabreen was ever so strategically trying to carefully swing her club so that her ball would go in the hole. What did I do? I was just swinging that bad boy all around until eventually, I drug the ball with my club and got the sucker in the hole. LOL Our personality traits lend for different results in the smallest and most important decisions of our lives.
I would be willing to bet while we were eating pie in the sky, Sabreen learned how to deal with all types of people just from observing, while I was too busy playing Kickball and eating our dog on pie to notice anyone else was around. LOL Geez… I’ll learn to have patience one day…probably not today!
Still learning the dance to Beyonce’s Single Ladies video,
