We don’t always get what we want when we want it. Sometimes we have to practice the art of patience. But when the time is right, and it finally appears, it makes the waiting all the sweeter.
Autumn is like that in Florida. It doesn’t show up when we think it should. It takes its sweet time, arriving when it is good and ready. But it is worth every second of the wait.
If we are lucky, we learn this life lesson as a child. It gives us something to anticipate, something to long for, and the delight of finally receiving what we have waited for—like sinking into a comfortable bed at the end of a long, productive day.
