"Patience is the companion of wisdom."
-Saint Augustine
I have a confession. I am the least patient person on the planet.
I really like this Israeli cartoon, because if I were a bald little boy, this would be me.
I am trying to work on being a patient person, but every day I find myself tapping my foot or compulsively glancing at the clock.
I also really like this Saint Augustine quote.
I aspire to be wise.
Wisdom is at the top of my list of desirable attributes, because I think all other desirable attributes flow from wisdom.
So, I am resolving to stop my daily dialogue of
"Ugh. David, why won't this person hurry up?"
"Ugh. David, I have THREE more hours of work! The day is SO slow."
"Ugh. David, this picture is taking so long to download. Can you make it go faster?"
. . . or something like that
Basically, I think my husband's sanity depends on my attempt.
I'm going to start working on it. We'll see how it goes . . .

So...do you have patience yet? huh, huh, huh?!
Is David super patient? Maybe it's easier for guys because Ty is the most patient person I've ever known. Luckily, after almost 8 years, some of his patience has begun to wear off on me but I still have a looooooong way to go!
David is very patient. He is desperately trying to transfer some of his patience to me, but it won't take. I think he is able to be patient because he doesn't get as excited about things in general as I do. I think some of my impatience comes from my anticipation of things. If that makes sense?
