I recently heard on the radio, an author speaking about his latest book. He said that when he began, he couldn't write a novel, but he could write one page a day. This is what life is about. We often try to expect everything to happen automatically, especially in our "balloon generation" as described by Urban Dictionary as the generation who "expects awards and balloons for minimal amounts of work," as well as with growing technology to increase the efficiency of all possible. We try to accomplish huge tasks without patience, and we fail to see the option of doing so one "page" at a time. If life were a book, it is important to acknowledge every little word and letter, for some day the book will end, and we'll have just our moments to look back on.
Ha! Balloon Generation! Perfect. hadn't heard that one. Thanks, Miss Slaughter. I'll be sure to use that in the future.
