Patience

If you know anything about me, you will know that I am a very impatient person. I really don’t like having to wait for anything. It does mean that I get a lot more done than somebody who is willing to sit around and wait for something to happen by itself.

It is occurring to me, as the days and weeks roll past while I look on in frustration, that maybe my impatience is stopping me from seeing other things along the way. Good things come to those who wait, but, to be fair, I’ve been waiting for three months and almost nothing has changed, and I don’t know what to do. Usually I’ll just get out there and do something about the situation to move things along but this time I really just can’t-no matter what.

I actually do not know how to do it, and it is honestly the most difficult thing I have ever had to do because I have to do it alone. My friends are great in supporting me and encouraging me but how much long do I have to wait? The time is coming when I’m going to give up and move on because the waiting will have turned into wasting.

I know that I'm not running my own plans or according to my own time but this whole thing is beginning to feel more like punishment than a lesson.
Life is not supported in stagnant water. And right now things seem stagnant, and it’s frustrating. However, a wetland (Which purifies and adds oxygen to water) appears to be stagnant because the flow rate is rather low. Maybe this is what is supposed to happen, maybe all the bad stuff needs to be pulled out and good things added before the entire process can speed up.
Yes, taking time to smell the roses is very nice. But when you spend so much time breathing them in sooner or later you’re going to get a thorn in your finger. Getting thorns in my hands is now old news and I want something different. Maybe I’ve been grabbing the roses instead of being careful and slowing down.
I rate that I’ve just found what I need to do.
I need to get off this lightning train and be going slowly enough to hold my rose with hurting it or getting hurt.
