Patience in Love

 My mentality has always been: work hard to achieve or obtain what you want

. 

For the most part this mantra has really worked for me.

Except for love. 

Insert a mini tantrum here:

It’s not fair. I have done the work. I have been motivated to put time and effort into who I am and how to navigate relationships. I have worked really, really hard. (Imagine foot stomping, pouty face, whiny voice)

Yet, I do not see the love looming around the corner. It is something I can’t seem to “achieve” and it requires patience.

SOOOO MANY PATIENCE!!!!!!!!!

For now I will concentrate and manifest the love I want in my life. It looks and feels and sounds like:

• Safety

• Being taken care of

• Listening

• Supporting

• Kindness

• Laughter

• Building a home together

• Coming home to where I belong

• Communication

• Time

• Presence

• Understanding

• Goofiness

• Long hugs

• Cups of coffee

• Trust

• Integrity

• Determination

• Grit

• “Good Mornings”

• “You are important to me”

• Head scratches

• Cooking dinner

• Dancing in the kitchen

• Supporting dreams

• Comfortable

• “What can I do?”

• “How can I help?”

• “I feel______”

• Smiles that creep in

• Eye rolls 

• Smirks

Working hard, waiting, manifesting, hoping, and believing that it takes hard work, but also belief and patience for the love to come. 

I really, really can’t wait to write this chapter. (But I have to wait!!!)
