1057) I hate patience. Wow! Did I express this in print? Yes, I did. Patience is something I don’t “do” very well and the older I get, the less patient I become. I have considered why I am inpatient. I could look back over my childhood or young-adulthood and psychoanalyze this behavior, but I think

1056) When considering the topic of being gentle, my second title to this “minute” is, Am I speaking softly enough for you to hear me? If this title conjures up a bit of confusion, you’re not alone. We live in a world that has so many options and distractions that if you want to be
