patience

hello my friends!!! if you have kids then you know that neither of you has any patience left right now-LOL. my son not only wants to open his gifts but he wants me to open mine!! they had a holiday gift shop at his elementary school where they could take their allowance and buy gifts for their family members and friends. so he brings mine home with a bunch of others and places it under the tree. then he figits around a bit until he decides to tell me how much i am going to love it...and maybe i should open it NOW!! i tell him i'm sure i will love it, but that i would really like to wait until christmas day-as is tradtion-when he opens his gifts so i have something to open to. needless to say that did not work and well...i love my new sudoku puzzle book!!
they say that patience is a virture...and like most virtues, we never know if we posses it until its been tested. if we're lucky we have someone to take the test with us. and if we can pass that test, if we can wait long enough, we just might find the reward greater then we expected. the funny thing about waiting is always seems the more we want something-the longer we have to wait for it....(men in trees)

until next time...safe journey.
