Gaining Wisdom Is a Painful Process

Yes that’s my today’s wonderful discovery. I believe each new day has something new to offer, something new to tell us or teach us. So this is what I learned today………the painful process of gaining wisdom……and this is how it happened………..

I don’t know when it started, but suddenly I was aware of it. It seemed a normal busy day at work but then it started nagging me, and much as I tried to ignore it, it kept barging in. I tried to remedy it but then I wasn’t sure if it would be appropriate. Sometimes it would seem to disappear for some time and, then would be back again, consistently making its presence felt. I knew I had to do something but I wasn’t sure what. Then I talked to my colleagues and some confidants and what they said made me feel better equipped to handle it. It is a necessary step in every individual’s life………..

Lost??? Still wondering what??? Ha ha ha ha…. ‘It’ was my wisdom tooth!!!
I thought all my teething process had been done with in childhood and then I discovered I have four more to go. Yes I did learn about it in science but that was long ago I dumped it out the memory box. So now I am gaining some wisdom……teeth. Yippee! And while it does hurt sometimes, I am quite happy to be aware of the growth process.

In the great words of Ogden Nash
“Some pains are physical, some are mental, the one that is both is dental”
