Patience is a virtue . . . .

I'm in one of those funktified moments where I'm wishing I'm in a committed relationship and is moving towards starting a family. I don't know what it is --maybe its where I am in my life, maybe its my age, maybe its all the weddings I've been going to --but whatever it is, it hits me like a ton of bricks when I'm not at all looking for it. It comes out of nowhere. When I'm in the middle of reading a book --which has nothing to do with romance, or watching TV shows like law and order, or in the middle of liturgy. That feeling of longing for "someone" just comes popping into my head and without any warning, either.

I don't like feeling like this, as you can tell. I would rather be in my regular state of oblivious single bliss and be content. Having these feelings just makes me think that I'm a total loser for 1) thinking it, and 2) being one of those people who long for it.

Humbug! Patience is a virtue, Patience is a virtue, Patience is a virtue! Maybe if I repeat it enough times it will sink in and I won't be impatient. Well, whenever it will be ... it will come just in time. Not in my prescribed schedule, of course, because if it were me, I'd be in a relationship already. Therefore, I just need to lift it up to Jesus --as us Christians say. Or I'll just keep repeating the mantra ....
