While I was watching them, we had to go a few places. I buckled them into their seats and off we went. Well, my baby nephew, Brendan (2), got so frustrated when we had to stop at a red light or when I wasn't going when he thought I should be. He would say, "Go Cindi... GOOOO!!!!!" Everytime he said it I laughed so hard, because he was so impatient. I realized though that sometimes we all are waiting on other people, and it irritates us. Well, I know that it irritates me sometimes, I don't know about all of you. Anyway, I also realized that sometimes we forget to enjoy where we're at, but we shout at the Lord, "GOOOO!!!!"
I know that life has it's ups and downs, and that sometimes I get so fed up with life that I just wanna sit down and say, "I QUIT!" It's then that I realize that a roller coaster wouldn't be fun if it didn't have both ups and downs, loops and swoops. To really enjoy something, a person needs to experience the opposite of that, or at least recognize that we wouldn't have a "good" without the "bad."
From now on, I will never forget my nephew saying, "Go Cini, GOOOO!!!" I will also try to never forget to enjoy the "stoplights" of life.

So cute!! :) I've found myself getting really annoyed at stoplights lately, and sometimes I sit back and think "Why am I so frustrated? I'm not going to be late, I'm just going to the store." I think I've conditioned myself to be an angry driver at all times, not just when I really do need to hurry :) I'm going to remember your nephew from now on :) Go driver in front of me, GO!!!
Very good insite Bliss- it's amazing what we learn from children. Sounds like you had a lot of fun!!
