T.T.T
My screen saver says T.T.T - I had completely tuned out to it, having seen it multiple times daily for the last 7 months. But now I have new (and great) flatmates and one asked:
"What is T.T.T?"
I will share with you what I shared with him:
"T.T.T
Put up in a place
where it’s easy to see
the cryptic admonishment
T.T.T.
When you feel how depressingly
slowly you climb,
it’s well to remember that
Things Take Time."
PS This is the second time I have blogged this poet Piet Hein’s Gruks - they are simply too good!
My favourite is called The Road to Wisdom…will post it shortly in keeping with Piet’s penchant for brevity but you all know how to use Google if you can’t wait…

Patience is a virtue and a power too. Patience tells us that the journey of a
thousand miles begins with a single step and that we get to our destination one
step at a time. Patience teaches us not to rush. Knowing that there is a reason
and a season for everything, it enables us to smile at the challenges realizing
that there is an answer to every problem. And, even though we cannot see it, we
have the awareness that within every crisis there is opportunity. Today let me
enjoy being patient.
