Here it is Friday already and I’m patiently waiting for your next witty post.

Okay, that’s long enough. Write up!

lol indeed we are all accountable to a higher power than websters. If you’re looking to gain patience I recomend getting a very old computer. You’ll learn then.

In the words of Archie Bunker “Patience is a Virgin”..that one always cracks me up. I’m with you on the instant gratification though, I don’t have the patience to wait, I’ve patiently learned to endure my own faults

Doesn’t the prayer go something like this: “Lord, give me patience, and give it to me now.”

I’ve grown more and more patient with the passage of time. If there’s a long line, I either resolve myself to wait if I have nothing better to do or come back later.

Where I’ve lost patience is dealing with people who have no concept of time. If they don’t show up when they say they will, I give them a reasonable allowance and then I leave. An hour later, when my cell phone rings and they ask where I am, I have no qualms about telling them I left.

What’s more amazing… they’re mad because I didn’t wait an hour on them, but it was okay for them to make me waste that sixty minutes.

Go figure.

I love to live by a plan. I am a planner at heart, through and through.
The three other members of my household are not.
I have had to ease up and compromise.
Three against one isn’t fair!

Patient procrastination is also a virtue, isn’t it?
