Sick-O

Jun 12 2008

Published by Squirrel at 3:21 pm under oh filipes!, ugh!

I am not an understanding wife.  I know this. I probably wouldn’t want to be married to me.

My capacity for compassion and empathy for a sick Filipes is pretty limited.  In fact, as I see him laying all day on my new, expensive, comfy couch… I get really frustrated.  I must leave the room.  Fold laundry.  Clean kitchen.  Whatever.  Just don’t look over at the couch.

If he’s not on the couch he’s slouching around the house.  Grumbly.  Largely useless to us. But, trying to remember the man isn’t feeling well, I tell myself “Ease up on the guy.  He’s sick for cryin’ out loud.  Be a good, understanding wife for a change.”

And then. He.  Goes.  Golfing.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down. -Charles Kettering

    • Say It!

      Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them. -Orison Swett Marden

      … when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason. - John Keats

      Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve! - Andrew Carnegie

      As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. -Henry David Thoreau
