Patience, wait for it.

When was the last time you had your patience tested? We just returned from the happiest place on Earth, but it really brought patience to the front of my mind as we waited everywhere we went. I teach my boys the easiest way to remember patience, “waiting with a happy heart.” When we wait, that is not patience. We have to be happy in the waiting to really use patience. Read that again- you have to be happy in the waiting. In a culture of instant gratification, patience isn’t practiced nearly as much as it used to be. I think to those who had to wait for a letter for any kind of communication, those who had to spend hours in a library to do any kind of research, and those who saved to finally be able to make their big purchase.

Whatever you are waiting on, make a choice of joy in the waiting. Practice patience today and be kind to yourself. I can’t wait to see what happens when you wait!

Light and Love-
