Most people think it is Jean but no, it is patience. I often joke that if I were a doctor I would be rich (patients - patience)..... Cheesy I know.
Anyway, I waited 8 years to get a divorce. I knew for 8 years it was over.... and yet I was patient and waited until the time was right.
I waited for far too long to get my new car. I was patiently waiting again, for the right time.
I waited months and 5 dates for a first kiss. I waited for several more months after that to admit to myself I was in love and then more than a year it took me to admit it to him. Again, the time had to be right....
I waited for the right time to get a dog. To go back to school. To get the right job. To buy a Wii.
I wait. I wait. I wait.
I do this with everything. I say I want to take risks but do I? No. I wait and hope and wish and talk and dream about things but I don't make them happen. I sometimes wish I had a little cricket to help me make decisions.
At any rate, I am patiently waiting for what is to come next thing. What is it? I don't know but I can be patient. I can wait.
After all, it is my name.....

"Patience is a virtue" I'm often told. Another is "You have the patience of Job." Then hubby says never pray for patience unless you're prepared for what may lie ahead.
Either way I think patience is a GOOD thing to have. Not many of us have it.
Patience is a great middle name.
It's much better than "Run Headlong Into A Well Filled With Poo"...which has been my middle name at times.
It's a good name. It took me years to learn it. Now it drives everybody mad as they got used to impulsive me!
My middle name is "hot-sauce". I'm not sure what that means.
I'm a little drunk.
PS. If you wait long enough your life will find you. It's just a matter of where you want to be when it does. Are you where you want to be? Where do you want to go? Can I have another hard lemonade? These are the questions that must be answered.
Thanks all!
Jenny, I do want another hard lemonade. Ya got one??? Speaking of, we totally have to get together..... I must email you.
oh, honey...I'm seeing things here... you need to get online and tell me what the heck is going on!!!
Long time no chat.
Waiting is fine, but waiting too long is a waste!
