fish...

the reason they have fish tanks in doctor's offices is that they are supposed to be relaxing.
and people who fish find it to be an extremely "zen" activity,
but i wasn't blessed with a great deal of patience
and
activity is what i use to relax
so this whole fish thing can be a bit difficult for me.

and yet...
for many years
(because of something called a telequarium)
i was associated with fish
(and i have a lot of fish dishes, jewelry, etc. to show for it.)

i do believe that life gives you what you need
(whether you like it or not)
and so i try to take fish as a sign
that there is a lesson to be learned,
especially during those times when i find myself to be particularily impatient.

(& i am so not a water sign)
