patience really is a virtue.
Waiting can be the hardest part of anything and it seems to be even more challenging when you are relying on others. Not only do you have to sit and attempt to be patient but you also have to continue to go on as if nothing is bothering you whatsoever. I am not a patient person by nature, although not to brag I am trying to get much better on letting things happen without my interference.
This is a struggle among other issues of course. Operating on someone else's clock and waiting on them to call or e-mail you can be completely miserable in my opinion. I like to control my life for the most part in all senses. Call me what you will: obsessive, anal, predictable, etc. but at the end of the day I am a planner. I enjoy making lists and organizing everything whether those are my thoughts, concepts, or grocery needs. Yes, I know this in many ways leaves nothing to chance in my mind, but that's the way I like it for the most part.
All in all I know my list making self has to coexist with my somewhat patient self, but the battlefield is always changing slightly.

scrambly mess.
Sometimes when you put all of your eggs in one basket the handle breaks, and when it does all you are left with is a scrambled mess. It is what you do to clean up that mess that matters.
Taking a huge set back and turning it into a stride can be a challenge in itself, but when you start running again your arms aren't occupied. In many ways the best thing to do is start back at the beginning, that's the very best place to start. Trying again usually requires something inside and a drive to become better than you were before.
This may mean starting over in the simplest way or beginning again when everything seems broken. The trick is to take what you've learned and apply it to the future so your shoes don't get messy with icky raw eggs.
