I have always thought that I was a pretty patient person,
but according to my sister, I am not.
She always tells me to "stop pulling on the carrots, give them time to grow.
Do you consider yourself patient or impatient?
One of my favorite quotes:
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson-

At the moment I am impatient.
I've been watching the UPS truck's progress and the poor driver has driven up and down the same road several times. They dont' organize their routes very well. Once he was even on a road very close to mine.

@marlina I'm tempted to call and ask if they need help organizing their routes! lol

It depends on the situation. I can be a bit of both. Overall though, I'm a fairly patient person. Often reminding others to have to calm down.

I love the meme and the Emerson quote; but I especially like your sister's view on the subject! Clever! I am impatient and want things done now. My husband is a procrastinator; and it makes me nuts.

I like that garden saying.
Ask her about getting old. When we wait too long we forget what it was we were waiting for.

impatient
the biggest one.
Can't really wait for anything.
needs to be done now.
That's why I never invest in stocks.

I have been terribly impatient my whole life, but I am getting better. I have forced myself to slow down in my old age, and it does indeed make a difference.

@BelleStarr , That's good because writing needs a lot of research, so you've got to be patient then for sure!
