This time last year, I was well into planning my wedding. I think by the time January rolled along, all we really needed to do was send the invitations, pick out the menu for dinner and prepare Dad to write the final checks.
We easily could have gotten married in February instead of April. But, we had to complete the "process" of planning the wedding. It was a six month process and it was painful. Not painful in that it was horrid. Painful in that I had no patience to complete the process. I wanted it to be a lot faster than it was. (Then again, I know some brides who say six months is too short! They'd prefer a longer process!!)
I've never been a very patient person. I like to have things done at a rapid speed. I've learned to become an efficient worker at a quick pace. People say you can learn to be patient, but I don't think that is true. I'm a few years away from 30 and if I don't have it now, not sure I will ever master the concept.
Well, here we are in another January and yet again, we are involved in another long process. This one is a big bigger than planning a wedding...which was huge by the way!! Don't get me wrong!
This process has more paperwork, more people involved and more on the line for us. This is one of those things where we need to be really patient with things. It is easy to get discouraged. Need to remind myself to be patient.
I'd like to think that this process is not a test of my patience, but more of a way to grow my patience well bigger. It hasn't yet...but here's to hoping, right?
Just be patient. It will all pan out.
My patience cup does not runneth over after my pep talks. Not one bit.
Nope. No patience. None.
Oh well. Maybe by the end of this process I will be a pro at patience. Maybe I will be able to give seminars on how to be patient? Maybe I will write a book? Maybe...you know, everything I am thinking of has a long process that is attached to it...
