is patience really necessary?

Everything I realize requires me to be patient. And if you know me, I love when things are just quick and when I know everything I need to learn. And lately everything I have to do is requiring me to be patient.
Having to be patient while I wait for my strawberry cheesecake to "chill for an hour" even though the box tricked me and said 15 minutes prep, and I wanted the cheesecake then. Having to be patient for my clothes to finish drying. Having to be patient waiting for the first week of April which will ultimately determine my summer plans. Having to wait for the next week as I head back to the little city. See everything is making me wait around.

I suppose this is all to help me prepare for other bigger things in my life where patience will be necessary. Patience really is a virtue, and we as society are always expecting things to be just instant. I think that because of that we don't always take the time to enjoy the little adventures that we all have while we are waiting for whatever it is that we're waiting for.

A challenge for myself and for any of you; try to be patient this week with whatever it is that you need to wait for.
While I TRY to wait patiently, I'll be listening to this song, because Lupe Fiasco definitely sums it up for me.
And if you were wondering about how my cheesecake turned out, it wasn't very good. I even waited a little longer than an hour for it to chill, but we've already all discussed that my baking skills are......................a little underdeveloped.
