P is for Patience

P is for Patience, it is something we learn though it is not always one of our strong points.

Children require patience as they are stumbling through the first steps of life learning what is what. You need patience at school to get through what can be a rather boring day when you already know the lesson, or a challenging day when you are trying to figure out what in the world is going on.

The simple act of shopping requires patience, when you take children it can be tricky to decide if it's your patience or theirs that wears thin. Children can be bossy in the store, but when they're the ones ready to go long before you've finished your list it's a bit surprising. 

What do you need patience to achieve?

Hi Laurie,
Great Post! I need patience with myself to finish all the commitments I have made to others. I don't have any patience with being sick, and I was sick for two weeks and unable to do what I needed to do. Now I have a backlog.

I'm trying to get ahead far enough I can take time off to spend with the kiddo. We need to work on a few social skills.

I'm glad it's bright and cheery, it's a Easter/Spring theme.

The week passed and the house was no where near ready. She came in slamming doors leaving piles of rubble in her wake as the fragile walls gave way. Cracks in the foundation widened as she continued the tirade until the ceiling came down on her. In the mist of dust and debris someone heard a fading whimper as she expired with the house she loved so. Why is she so insistent that the house be fixed instead of simply demolishing it and starting over? Is it fitting that her end came with the end of the house? The word is irrational and this post comes in at 125 of the 150 word limit. Vist M3 for official rules and word list. Visit Redmund Productions to pick up the serious and rememb...
