on anger

Mar 31, 2007 07:33

My favorite lunch lady in the whole world, Amy, cried yesterday when I spoke to her. I talk to her every day at work and she always has wisdom to give me. Usually it's about feeling better during a bad day.

Yesterday I talked to her about waiting. she asked "does this tie back to something in your past?" Well I've already got an answer to that. I told her about how I used to wait at the end of the driveway for my father to show up. So she says (and I bold this so I don't forget) "You don't have to stop waiting, you don't have to lose hope, just do your own thing. Your time is important." I kissed her hand, and let go of all that anger at once and it hasn't come back. She told me that I'm helping her get through her hard time too, that someone left her recently without a word. I gave her a big hug. Thanks, Amy.

I'd already come to this conclusion, but for some reason I didn't ... believe or remember or something. I admit to paraphrasing her quote, the words aren't as important as the message. Somehow it sunk in this time.

Please also note, I'm moving to Nashua today.

peace, waiting, anger
