Thursday 7th June - Patience - (rest of title deleted)

Actually, I have run out of patience. I have had about three goes at creating a blog post, and what with interruptions and general dissatisfaction with what I was going to post and how it was going to be posted, I am giving up. So I am leaving the rest of this page blank.

No I am not - I have googled brainyquotes

http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/patience.html

and here are (the printable parts of) my responses to what I found;

"A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust." Gertrude Jekyll


No it doesn't. Gardening makes me cross and tired. Like housework. You work away and then a day later it as if you never bothered. But leave it too long and the consequences are overwhelming.

"Abused patience turns to fury."
Thomas Fuller

Got it in one. I'm feeling just a bit - just a teensy, weensy, little, bit - furious at the moment.

Hang on a minute here!

There are eight pages of quotations on Patience. 8!  EIGHT! This is the very last one at the end of page eight:

Who ever is out of patience is out of possession of their soul. Francis Bacon

Point taken. I think I'll try and calm down a bit.
