Chasing Noodles

Oh Roald Dahl, how I love you.  Not entirely sure if this experience sums up the rule, but it's a great example. I needed to pop into Clicks the other day before work to pick up some medication but found out when I got there that i needed to wait another 13mins before they opened. it had to be one of THE coldest days and not being the best morning person, let's just say, I've been in better moods. Just as my last nerve was about to snap, a sweet old German man walked past with his bundle of washing for the laundry, smiled gently at me and said "everything comes to those who wait".  A simple little sentence that turned my day right around. I smiled back and not a minute later I was greeted at the door and welcomed into the warm store. Do you remember when you were a child, when you walked into a new place, you would stop and stare and take everything in. Now, as we have grown older, we "don't have the time to". We rush in, get what we need and...

Unless you enjoy loosing, which isn't normal and you should see someone about it. Alternatively, if you carry your own board then by all means, have a game of checkers.

Better idea, play giant Checkers!  http://www.popsci.com/gadgets/gallery/2012-01/archive-gallery-board-games-werent-always-fun?image=7

So life has been having a bit of a laugh lately and throwing all sorts at me. To say it gave me lemons is a bit of an understatement and I feel like I've been on a roller coaster. On my drive home today, the words from someone special played in my head. Spend time in water, it will give you all the answers. So I headed straight to the pool. Being a Pisces, this made sense.  It took me a couple lengths, then saving myself from drowning from the exhaustion and then finally pretending I was a mermaid with long hair to start relaxing and letting my mind flow freely. It was then that this came to me. The lemons thing, and normally the usual tequila saying follows but tonight it was about friends. And that honestly is what it all comes down to. Friends. I know I have spoken about this subject many times, but this time it feels different. It's that old cliche and probably a rule that is still going to come up, that when times are tough your true friends come out. Funny...
