“Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience.”
So today was another slow, windy day, and I've had a lot of time to think. The temp agency e-mailed the potential live-in-job option they have for me and now we are just waiting for a reply. It can be quite a state of agitation-the not knowing. Waiting is one of the most difficult things to do-especially when you're as impatient as me-but if you embrace the moments (or in my case, days) of uncertainty and timid tension, there is a real opportunity to grow as a person. I've found that if you just constantly sit around worrying about results, you only lose time. You can go over conditions and reasons and the ifs and whys fly through your head at an alarming rate making for a rather unpleasant existance. Instead, one can embrace this place of limbo and engage in a little self reflection. I really think it might be in these moments when you truly learn the most about yourself...

I agree. Waiting can be frustrating, but it sure can teach you a lot. This internship has taught me that. I love you
