Do you consider yourself a patient person? How easy or difficult is it for you to wait for something? Does a delayed reward feel more or less satisfying than an immediate reward?


patient [ pey-shuhnt ]

adjective - Bearing provocation, annoyance, misfortune, delay, hardship, pain, etc., with fortitude and calm and without complaint, anger, or the like. Characterized by or expressing such a quality: a patient smile. Quietly and steadily persevering or diligent, especially in detail or exactness: a patient worker.

What a word! And powerful! If only that word applied to me! *Laugh*

Honestly, I would like to think I'm patient. And I try hard to be patient. I'm just not very good at it. So I have to face facts. I'm not patient. It's one of my biggest flaws. I've spent 6 decades trying to change it. Not happening. It is what it is. *Wink*

Remember that old saying, "Stop and smell the roses"? Beautiful saying and beautiful way to live. But it's just not me! I can see the roses. I can smell the roses. I know they're beautiful. But darn it, there are flowers everywhere! I've got tons more to get to! This is exactly how I live my life. I've always got tons more to get to.

And how about another saying, "Patience is a virtue"? Yes, I understand it's a virtue. And I'd love to collect all the virtue I can. Patience will never be one of them. Why? There's so much out there! I've got tons more to get to!

Oh brother, at this stage of the game, I wish life would just slow down so I actually could stop and smell the roses. *FlowerR*
