In a world where we have grown accustomed to everything being instantaneous, life teaches us to be patient. I remember the first time I let an older boy drive my daughter home from a football game. It seems like yesterday I was standing in the window, face glued to the glass praying I would see the car pull into the driveway. I’ve waited for test results and 9 months to pass so I could finally hold the little creature that had been occupying space inside my stomach. I’ve waited for news while a loved one was sick or going through a procedure that seemed to take forever.
There are so many things we cannot control and several that happen in their own time. All I can do is count my breaths as the time slowly creeps on by. Today is one of those days so once again I close my eyes, pray and wait. What is one time that you had no choice but to learn to be patient?

For me, I think it was recovery from depression, getting myself well, and re-evaluating my life and expectations from it. It took a year, but it was a positive year, and I have never regretted it.

That’s an important one. I have recently gone through a time like that myself. Patience is the only thing you have through something like that

I’m waiting for an operation at the end of July that will allow me to move forward on a scary health issue. Trying my best to stay positive and take each day one at a time. Teaching me a lot
