Patience has never been one of my strong characteristics and when I find myself in the middle of working hard for something I want, my inner-Veruca comes out. I have my list of things that I would like-not necessarily for my Father to buy me-and I want them NOW.
It is while I am in the midst of wanting things NOW that I am reminded that good things come to those who wait. I hear that patience is a virtue. The best things in life aren't free. Slow and steady wins the race. Blah Blah Blah.
Well, I have a bone to pick with patience. It is hard and I don't like it. I know that greatness is in store, but I would like it to be in store by tomorrow. Not even by tomorrow, by tonight. It's like I have an angel on one shoulder that is telling me to be patient and that everything will work out and a devil on the other shoulder poking me in the ear with a sharp stick telling me that I need what I want to happen NOW. Right now the sharp stick in my ear is winning.
Don't get me wrong, I am not bitter and I do truly believe that there is greatness in store. I am just not in the patience fan club right now and I am not sure when it is that I will be. Definitely not NOW. For now, I am just trying to get back to basics and have more things in my life that make me happy. Like chocolate. And friends. And balance. And less of me to love (I have lost 30lbs and counting, but that is a topic for another time). And writing-I have missed writing.
So what is the point to this post? The point is that I am back. I am back to the writing world after having a break for a whole year. Patience is kicking my butt right now, but I am not going to let it win. I am going to put my head down and go to work and get things moving in a positive direction again. And I am going to do it NOW.
Patience better watch out....
