We are clearing out the upstairs of the house in Connecticut to have old carpet pulled up and hardwood floors laid down. We will enjoy the new floors and they sing "resale value" as we check things off the list.
I am trying to cultivate patience, but it's always been a challenge for me. Here are two quotes I come back to again and again.
"The greatest prayer is patience"...siddhartha guatama (buddha)
"Have patience and the mulberry leaf will become silk"...spanish proverb
Do you have wisdom about patience that you might share with me?
Those beds and quilts look so lovely, Karen.
ReplyDeleteI don't have much patience either, but I do love that second quotation.
I always tell myself the old adage, "patience is a virtue"!
No patience wisdom to share, alas. For me, patience is at least 50% dependent on hope, so keeping hope alive is half the challenge. Seeing pictures of your robin's nest, as well as your own "nest," help with that!
ReplyDeleteNo ideas on patience, but I love the new downstairs look...can't wait to sleep down there this summer! Unless I decide to tent out!

i always thought patience was for other people to deal with...yet one of my personal mantras is "all things come to those who wait"...love the new look at "bit of earth", too tqoe
ReplyDeleteAh patience is something I've been trying to cultivate over the years myself. I have no advice on how to do that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful "bit of earth" to look forward to though!
