A test of patience

Something I have never had much of my life so far is patience. I always want everything done now, and my way. I pray for patience but it never seems to get any better. But now it seems as if my prayers are being answered in the form of the biggest test of my patience in my life so far. I am waiting. Waiting on things that I have no control of, waiting on other people to get around to doing their part for this next step in my journey. I have an amazing opportunity ahead, to fulfill this dream I have been working toward in another country, that is if all the "details" get taken care of. And what makes it more difficult is the fact that there is nothing that I can do to speed the process, as I said, I am waiting on other people to do their part. After years of being so busy I thought I would be so happy having such a long break, but alas I am going crazy not being busy! Why is that? There are things that we think we want the most and then when we get them we can't handle it!? So I am developing my once non existent patience, and telling myself to enjoy the quiet while I still have it, and that everything will continue to work out, just not necessarily at the pace that I want!

So here is what I have been doing... reading, writing, painting, sewing, part time dog walker, babysitter, and explorer of all the big trees in the state!

Supposed to be the biggest spruce tree in the world!
