Waiting & Waiting & Waiting

I've come to realize that patience is an incredible virtue to possess and yet extremely hard to maintain. Trying to get things done and accomplished in life sometimes require relinquishing control for a bit. And with that relinquishment comes a reliance upon other people or things, and more specifically, their time frame.

Right now we are in a period of waiting for things to happen. For the last week, we have been waiting on our money from the States to make it past all the authorities and security checkpoints. But alas, it has finally arrived.

Not only were we waiting for the money, but we are also in a time period of waiting for: our Residency Card, the personal Cooking Stations, completion of the contract on the house and the family to move out, & something else very important that is currently slipping my mind.

The card will take however long it takes for the authorities to get around to it (since we aren't giving them a little something for "coffee".) The cooking stations will take almost 2 months, supposedly. The contract on the house will be finished sometime in the next 8-10 days. And the family will move out sometime in the next week or so.

We waited on pins and needles for the transfer of money from the States. It finally arrives and both the "notaire" and the owner of the house are either sick or really busy. They are in a hurry to finish things, yet now we get to wait until tomorrow morning to finalize everything.

All that to say, we get to keep learning the art of patience, control our breathing, and try as we might to keep the excitement of renovating a house and launching this business to a minimum. It sure is difficult to not keep dreaming about the possibilities and fall asleep within an hour every night.

But hopefully all will fall into place and Savor Morocco will be launched by it's scheduled time frame.

Oh yea! I remembered the other fairly important thing. It is my website for my business and my brochure (English & French translations). Those are the other projects I am waiting on. Lots of plates spinning at the same time.
