Patience isn't something I have a lot of, I feel like I have been waiting my whole life for things to happen for me. I was finally diagnosed with ADD a few years ago, which makes sense after the way things have been.
It's also very difficult to be patient right now considering we're supposed to be self-quarantining ourselves. The world is going crazy and people are more concerned about buying toilet paper than doing the smart thing and wearing face masks out in public.
There will be a lot of people losing their minds over this, but I lost mine a long time ago!
I have a blog going out Randy on this very subject. Yes, the Coronavirus. You have a point. Patience is a virtue as they say. There is a lot of merit to tolerance and part of that is being patient.
The more patient and tolerant we are the better and easier our lives and existence. We must all work together.
With patience comes tolerance, but think it depends on the circumstances and the people around us. Don't be too hard on yourself Tim. It takes two to make a relationship and others must meet us half way.
I also think we have a lot to learn about 'give 'n' take' we tend to take more than we give. If more of us gave instead of take, without us expecting something back, we would have a lot more patience.

I used to have more patience than I do now. Obviously there's a great deal I have to learn about how bottomless patience should be.
I wonder what it was I had before that felt like patience.
