Patience

Lately, I've been having trouble with patience (n. the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset). Its never been a virtue of mine, but I do try. Its been pretty difficult lately though. I find myself "getting short" with the people I care about more and more frequently. So now I'm going to take a deep breath, let everything go, and start today over.

"Waiting and hoping is a hard thing to do when you've already been waiting and hoping for as long as you can bear it." --Jenny Nimmo

"A waiting person is a patient person. The word patience means the willingness to stay where we are and live the situation out to the full in the belief that something hidden there will manifest itself to us" --Henri J.M. Nouwen

"The strongest of all warriors are these two - Time and Patience." --Leo Tolstoy
