These past weeks have been so interesting – as I have watched the seeds I planted sprout up – and then – nurtured my seedlings – and watched them grow.

All the windowsills in the house are full of them – and lovely though it has been to watch them each day – I have been impatient to get them out into the greenhouse.

I have lost count of the number of times that I have checked the night temperatures – to see if they are registering high enough – to be safe for these tender plants.

I know how important it is – that I do not rush – for in the end – I will be glad that I waited – and my patience will be rewarded – as this quote puts it – “Patience is the key – because – when the right time comes – it will be very beautiful – and totally worth the wait.

Meanwhile – I have continued to enjoy seeing those tender plants grow stronger – knowing that they will better survive – for being kept in the warmth for a while longer.

I have to say though that I am so very excited to see those night temperatures rising – giving me hope that in a few days – I will be able to start transferring those tender plants – and I am sure I will be glad that I waited – as I watch them grow even stronger in their new environment.

I admit that I find It hard at times – in life – to exercise enough patience – to wait for the right time.

Someone said that – “The hardest test in life – is the patience to wait – for the right moment” – and I can so identify with that.

In many ways – I would say that I have lots of patience – yet – there is that within me – that is impatient.

When I have decided that I want to do something – I find myself wanting to accomplish it – there and then – finding it difficult to curb my impatience.

But of course – in life – everything has it’s own time – as this quote goes – “To everything there is a season – and a time to every purpose under heaven”.

So -I continue to learn – to accept the seasons of my life – recognising that – everything happens at it’s own pace – and in it’s own time – and the best thing I can do – is to take note of this quote – and – “Relax – don’t rush – don’t force – don’t stress – let things happen – trust the process – and try to enjoy the ride”

I am grateful to nature – for once again reminding me – to take my time – to appreciate each moment – to be patient – and allow things to happen – in their own time.
