I’ve been wondering what lessons I learned on this trip – and the one that comes to mind immediately, is about learning how to wait.
I spent a lot of time waiting, and waiting is something I’m not known for being good at, so I had to learn how to do!
One can either do nothing in that time – in which case frustration can quickly set in. Or one can be proactive about it – carrying puzzles, journals, books, being prepared for all eventualities became a key to surviving. Letting the ego go – just accepting what was – but also being aware if there are things to be noted – ie – if a person says they are going to be somewhere at a certain time, and they are consistently late – then either expect it in the future – or opt not to be around them.
And even when I had nothing material to work on – I always had a good story going on in my head!
