"When I am challenged to wait,
I learn how to wait gracefully."
Today I am thinking alot about patience. This is an affirmation I will be repeating to myself today...I am a very impatient, impulsive person and not knowing what is going to happen frustrates me! But, I look into nature and see that things happen in their own time. Butterflies do not come out of their cocoon before its time, plants don't come out of the ground before their time. This is life, right? I am trying to start a vegetable garden today. I spent yesterday raking, picking out rocks, and digging holes while basking in the warmth of this sun. I planted snow peas. Today I will be planting Spinach. It is an experiment to see about whether or not it will work. I get frustrated because I want to know now what will grow in my garden, I want to know right now what will look best when planting...but that goes against nature right? And wouldn't I feel I accomplished alot more starting out and learning this way? Life is filled with times that speed past us- my children grow so fast- where did the time go? It is Spring this weekend, where did the time go? Right now, maybe learning a little patience will help me to be in the now, the present and enjoy what I have in this moment.
