Time, my friend and enemy

So, in my last post I wrote about patience. . . in the moment I was thinking how I had gained this profound appreciation for patience and was impressed by my own growth. However, a very short time later I find myself frustrated with time. Time can be a friend, when it's on my side. When it isn't on my side it is the most frustrating thing ever! I hate it when I'm the one waiting for things to happen! But what can you do?!

Patience. . .

Wow, it's been too long since I've written. . . many things have changed in the past months. With each experience comes new perspective. I've gained a greater appreciation for patience, not that I've mastered the virtue. Only a year ago I was eager to change my surroundings. I was frustrated a few months later when it didn't seem to be working as fast as I would like. However, things turned out extremely well! I look back at many of the trying times of my life and realize that if I were just patient things would have passed and I would have been happier during the "trial."
Once again, I find myself going through a particular problem. I realized that every trial passes and if I'm patient during the trial, the time seems to fly.
It's impossible for me to know how my life will turn out. But it doesn't make my life any better by wondering. Life is best when I'm happy in the present!
