The Power of Patience

The Power of Patience

Sunday, October 18, 2015

Can you believe I almost did not post these pictures? I don't understand why really, I was not satisfied with them at first, but now I can't see the reason.

Isn't that funny? I've had this happen before... my artistic vision didn't shine through and I got mad at the camera, at my editing talents (of lack thereof), at my husband for not being adventurous. But now, I can't even remember what that vision was or why I was upset.

The thing is, these pictures were only taken in September so.... not that long ago. Why would I have been dissatisfied? It doesn't matter now, but it does make me think a little bit. Sometimes, you just need patience. And that's not a strong suite for me. I like things to go exactly as planned the first time around... no second tries because I'm already wanting to move on to the next thing. But maybe, just maybe, that's a little wrong.

I mean, it is a good thing to be ready to go, ready to move forward, but you have to know when to stand still! Know when to let something rest and when to return at a later date. So that's what I am going to be working towards... letting go of frustrations, learning to wait, and looking back with fresh eyes. Don't throw things away too hastily because with a few week's rest, they may be just what you were looking for all along.
