When it comes down to having to wait on somebody or wait on some special package to come in the mail, do you have the patience for it? Or do you easily get aggitated?
I sometimes find myself losing my patience very easily and get really angry or aggitated if I have to wait on anything or anyone. I especially hate waiting for someone to come visit if they are running late. The reason, I think is because I have had to wait on so many people who always show up late. I always get anxious when I wait for a special package in the mail because I really like getting new things.
How about you? Do you have patience or do you not. Explain why.

Ha! Patience and me? No way Jose. We don't get together at all. I hate waiting on replies. I hate people who make me wait. Seriously, I get really irritated. Luckily, I am very good at reigning in my temper and irritation. I think when patience was being handed out I was too busy doing meditation or something. LOL!!

Sadly, I must be honest and confess to being behind the door when patience was being handed out! I do not like having to wait in any shape/form/or fashion. I am easily aggravated by those who are always late. I do find that I have become a bit more patient as I have aged, but it is still a terrible problem of mine. Those around me don't see the improvement as most did not know me when it was worse.

It depends on the situation, I guess.
I use to have so much patience but after I became a mother, it has slowly started to fade over the years. When my son was little, I had alot of patience with him but now I do not have as much.
I have zero patience when I am expecting a package. I have about 20% patience when I'm meeting someone and they are running late. If they do not call me to let me know, it drives me crazy! I know we're all human but if I'm running late, I always call the person so they can maybe do something else or not rush themselves.
When it comes to special holidays, I have alot more patience than other people. I'm never in a hurry for Christmas morning or my birthday.
So I guess it's half and half. I think I have the least amount of patience when waiting for a package that I'm expecting but I'm trying to be better about it and let things come as they may.
