"Why is patience so important? Because it makes us pay attention." -Paulo Coelho, author
I don't think of myself as an impatient person. In fact, when it comes to Christmas I will happily wait. My daughter has even said the waiting is the best part and when the day finally comes it is almost a let down. I tend to agree. If I lack patience it is mostly with people not the days of the week. I get impatient when my kids don't listen. I get impatient waiting in line. I get impatient with myself for being so sinful and wretched and messing up and forgetting and being lazy and getting sick. If you were wondering why I am posting day 3 of Advent when it is already day 10 well I have been coughing up a storm and my husband took me to urgent care. I was diagnosed with bronchitis. I have only finally started feeling normal. So be patient with me...now you have to pay attention...haha- but seriously learning to have patience with myself is the toughest but it is just as important as the patience for Christmas.
