patients is a virtue

I have realized something in my short eighteen years of life. Don't pray for patient because then you get put in a situation were you have to be patient. Like right now I am in that in between stage were I'm done with one stage of my life and waiting for the next. It is not the most frustrating time of my life, but very close. Everyone says that patients is a virtue, but why does it have to be so hard to get a hold of? Its like a wave. It come to you on its own. If you try to grab it, it pulls away. Luckily, it always seems to meet you when you absolutely need it. At least its friendly.
