I had more patience when I was younger. Now that I am older I wonder where it went. Lol. Good one.

Thank you, Darlene. Buddy and I both are just glad it's over. He is afraid of the fireworks.

That is what I am here to learn Daniel...patience. I am getting better with time as your wonderful Monoku suggests! : )

Mrs Connie, life is way too short to be in a hurry. You must learn to savor every second. Thank you for your kindness and your lovely visit:)

Yes....but I am an impatient one. Nice write, dear. Thanks for your visit to me. I'm sorry I haven't been around much. I will try to remedy that. Hugs

I love impatient women, Eileen. I believe I could teach you to be patient but only if you were willing to learn:) Thank you so much for taking time to read and comment, I know you are very busy:)

Hi Daniel, this is indeed a wise Monoku you lay before us. A wonderful Monoku Daniel. In my case, patience is something i have but i may never attain the wisdom. Still, i have time. Your friend always....Mike.

A wise man doesn't know he's wise, Mike:) Thank you for your kind visit and comment. I hope you are feeling better these days:)

Wisdom comes from experience, so yes, patience and time are needed to acquire it. Yours is a wise monoku, Danny! Regards // paul

I have taught myself to be a patient man. Life is too short to rush. Thank you, Paul. I am always honored by your visits and your kindness:)

Some day you'll find that the anticipation can be as rewarding as the experience you are waiting on. Thank you, Kina. That looks like one big fish!

In response to your note below: an old boyfriend of mine (native american) called me "frivolous" one time (almost like silly) Later I was to see one of my numbers of numerology referred to as "frivolous Five"

Andrea, I'd bet my broken can opener, were we to ever meet. We would laugh so hard our sides would hurt. Stay sweet:)

Beautiful monoku, Daniel: I'm also a gentleman and a scholar and a good judge of Coca Cola!

Daniel Turner

June 17, 2017 at 6:15 PM

You are indeed a gentleman and a scholar, Ralph. Do you really work in a museum? I think that would be such a cool job. As far as coca cola, I'll pass. Pepsi for me:) Thank you for dropping by:)
