Over the past few months I've been learning that life is like a handful of warm spaghetti noodles. HA! When you first stick your hand into that warm bowl or pot of noodles (depending on your spaghetti strategy I guess) you have a knot of noodles. They're tangled in on themselves and with each other, it really looks like you've got a mess. Slowly but surely though, most of those noodles will start to untangle themselves, and straighten out as they slip out of your grip.
Sometimes everything feels like it's piling up, everyone wants responses, everyone wants answers...NOW. It can get a little hectic at times.
I thought that responding to a problem likity-split was a good thing, was a sign that I was a good employee or human being. Sometimes stepping away and removing ourselves from the situation for a day or two is the alternative solution. Maybe some of that is having the humility to admit that there is nothing we can do to solve a problem, that it's out of our hands.
As winter approaches I've been feeling more and more like I'm losing my grip. I get impatient waiting for certain events to take place. But when we take a step back, relax, and wait. . . we can catch our breath and see everything untangle right before our eyes.
