Patience



Patience, quiet steadfast perseverance, an ability or willingness to suppress restlessness when confronted with delay. I have been trying to practice patience these past 4-5 weeks as we have been waiting for the results of my husbands job interview. I was so excited and really had this deep seated feeling that this was "it". But time has marched on and no phone call or letter and I am giving up hope. I know it is how so many families are feeling these days that a second income would be nice. I suppose we are more lucky than some because we do have at one steady income. I will try and continue my practice of staying in the now and trying not to be discouraged about this. We have not heard a definite no but we are bracing up for that to be the outcome. If I can wait for these grapes to ripen I can wait for a phone call or letter!

  5. Don't give up and keep hoping! I've been wondering how you were holding up with staying in the moment in regard to the interview. You are probably much more patient than you give yourself credit for! Keep on nurturing an expectation that things will work out somehow! It's a great creative force! Hugs, Silke

  6. Stay with it, Lorrie! Over here we have a saying, that hope is the last to die. Sounds a bit morbid translated, but what it means, is that you should never give up hoping! Tell the universe what you want to happen, you set things in motion that way.
