Verbs not nouns

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be learning. I phoned the bank today and discovered my bank card hasn't actually been ordered so it's still going to be another 7-9 working days til it gets here. So that's 4 weeks without it. Happily I've been lent some money so it's not like the kids are going without breakfast, but it's not exactly convenient. Am I supposed to be noticing my interdependence? (a bonus of things being tricky is it gives people chance to be kind - and today several people have been kind to me). Learning patience (I did say I needed to do that – be careful what you wish for)? Doing what most people need to do in thinking twice before I spend any cash?

I've still been thinking about the importance of not comparing what we feel we do or don't have, and here's another quote I like:

“Love becomes tremendously powerful – as do you – when you treat it as a verb, as something you do, instead of treating it like a noun, as something you have or don't have.”

I think this could maybe be applied to money and other things too – I've long been aware it's only a means of exchange and holds no value in its own right. So I shall continue to exchange, I shall continue to love and I shall not sit in my counting house worrying about if I lack anything. Whatever it is that concerns us - love, money, friends, time – there is always as much as we need even if we sometimes feel there is not as much as we want.
