My Patience Button

My patience is running awfully thin today.  My stomach is growling, my head is hurting and I've been sitting in a hospital room for hours waiting for answers for my Dad.   Seems to be what I want most in life, answers, but I want them NOW!!!

This is where I have to learn how to wait, how to take advantage of the time given and breathe.    Focus on the things I have control of and releasing those that I don't.

I was given a quarter and told to use it as my patience button, when I started to feel uneasy, to press it and remember that I must be patient.   Some days I just want what I want and being patient isn't part of that plan.

I have to walk away from my love, my best friend, my calm.   He has to live life and figure out things for himself and I have to do the same.  I wanted to do that together, it's all I've ever wanted, to go through hard times with someone but I can't.  He has to do this without me, me without him.

Great things come from those who wait, I want great things, so I will wear my patience button out.

I made my patience button into a necklace....
