I have been wrestling with the suspicion that I am "falling behind." I strive to respond with gratitude - "I am beyond blessed. I am safe, secure, and wealthy in relationships and joy," but that doesn't relieve the longing for what I don't have. Getting the things I want requires patience - patience being the arch nemesis of my longing ("I want it now!") and the disciplined companion of time ("I don't want to sit still!"). How might I soothe the anxiety of waiting as I try to be patient with "the time things take?"
