A Pearl of Wisdom

Mel and I visited her GP today to for a repeat prescription. Her regular GP was on holiday. We saw an Indian doctor instead. She appeared composed and spoke confidently without haste.
We briefly discussed Mel's grief. She asked how Mel was handling her grief and stated as all good people do that time is a great healer. We all know this. I turned off  my attention until she unexpectedly shared a pearl of wisdom. 
My ears pricked up, I was alert once more.
The doctor merely stated; when you receive bad news let it rest for a few days before acting on it.  How often do we react right away to negative situations? I know how easy it is to do. Emotions often rule our lives and dictate how others see us.

Oh the sweetness of control, wisdom and patience. Not that I could guarantee I have any of these attributes but maybe when the time arrives I might just remember the pearl of wisdom from this amazing doctor.
