Patience as my virtue

I am waiting for two major things right now.

One pertains to the status of the hard work I put in my final school paper.

The other one is about waiting for a phone call that may well change my life this year.

Either way, the end-results are not in my hands.

And for an impatient person like me, waiting SUCKS!

I take comfort in these words that I read this afternoon:

"Patience is not so much about waiting, as it is about how one behaves while waiting."

And another one from Lyman Abbott:

“Patience is passion tamed.”

Yet again, I ask myself:

How can you tame passion like mine?

Thus, I keep watching, I keep waiting.

Until I get the results, all I can do is graciously wait.

"Graciously" is the operative term.
