Learning patience
Over the past few weeks I've found myself in an interesting spot. There are things that a year ago I would have been worrying about and trying to make happen right away. My reaction to these things now is quite different. I have a sense of calm all around me and my worry is quieted. I know they will happen and I just have to be patient. This is a great lesson for me. I am not a patient person. I do like instant gratification and when there are problems, I do anything to solve them in the quickest way that I can. Learning patience is interesting. I find that if I try to break that patience and speed up the process, my worries come back and I start to feel ancy. This is the Universe's little nudge to remind me to hop back on the path of patience and that everything is going to be awesome and that there are still lessons that need to be learned along the way. Once I step back on that path, things are good and I get my calm, happy self back. Learning patience is hard, but the end reward will be awesome and well worth the journey. It's amazing how calm I feel and how my heart and mind are at peace when I'm listening to that little feeling that keeps saying "be patient, it's coming. It's on it's way." I feel with a perfect certainty that the wait will be worth it.

Well, they say patience is a virtue... it's something I continually have to remember too. Some things I'm great about letting go of, but other things I hold on to until it drives me CRAY-ZEE. Ah well. Just one of those things.
