Thank goodness I was blessed with a great deal of patience.
I just recently visited my friends in VA, and to my friend every time something challenging would come up, I would say, "Patience is a very hard lesson to learn." She just kinda smiled and nodded.
Well, the day she took me to the airport, we waited in several different lines, kept getting the run-around ~ overall, the most taxing airport experience I've ever encountered. And after we were finally all checked in, she said that by practicing patience, the time went by faster. Then she also said, "Patience IS a hard lesson to learn." I just smiled "knowingly" and nodded.
Sounds like everything is progressing with you, anyway.
Spidey, you sound fabulous!!!
You know, other than the failed marriage, I am doing fabulous. Or I should say, in Spite of (the French meaning of the word Mepris, not our English version of spite, FTI, long story, trust me) the failed marriage, I am doing fabulous. Thank you for noticing! I have my moments, but they are fewer and farther between than they were 6 months ago. :-)
